George Warden
George Warden, a retired DAR conductor. The D.A.R. gave Combine No. 3252 for use as a railway museum. Warden had the combine parked on special tracks behind his house on River Street in Kentville. He filled it with photos, artifacts and documents about the DAR and opened it to the public as a private museum. After his death in 1975, his widow offered to give the car and collection to the town of Kentville but was turned down. The Musquodoboit Railway Museum in Musquodoboit Harbour, Nova Scotia acquired the car and Warden's collection. Both have been preserved, although the Musquodoboit museum has often struggled with inadequate maintenance resources.
