City Map with Features
The early history of the town called the 'most historic west of Quebec City' is depicted in this 126-year-old museum, which formerly housed a lumber office and general store. Recently renovated, the museum re-creates the era of Queen Victoria and includes a new 4,300-sq-ft addition and bandshell, as well as a replica Fire Hall. Industrial and pioneer displays are exhibited in the original General Store and Lumber Office; the Great Hall features changing art exhibits; and the Penetanguishene Sports Hall of Fame commemorates area athletes. The museum is the site of a variety of special public events throughout the year, including a children's festival, concerts, and Canada Day celebrations. Also available are a local history research room and gift shop. Open daily, year-round.
