It is a volunteer run organization and we were happy to donate to it as requested, but the exhibits are actually tired and a bit boring. Children wanted to leave soon after arrival.

We enjoyed our visit to the Museum, they have a lot of interesting exhibits. Although saying that it was a bit daunting to recognize some exhibits on a table that we have used when we were younger. The Curator was very helpful as well answering a couple of questions about a couple of exhibits. The Museum also contains the Visitor Information Centre.

There are many books here for sale on the history of this area. It us just a block over from the main st. A great place to stop too if your hot from walking around the Elvis festival. Nice bathroom and lots of info books. Glad to see they took a old train station and made it into something useful and nice.

It doesn’t matter where you are from.you should always visit the local museum. It’s a great place to learn about a town that’s been around a long time and has got a lot of history. The shipbuilding is a great part of the towns history and so is logging in the 1800s

After attending an event about the Collingwood shipyards the previous evening, we wanted more information. The museum has videos, photos, books and displays about the now defunct ship building industry in Collingwood. It also has arrow heads and pottery from digs around the area, and other displays and information. One section houses the tourist information centre. There are rail cars behind the building and memorials to fallen soldiers.

It's a pretty small museum, no admission fee, just a suggested donation. There are a few pretty backgrounds outside to take some pictures. Overall, you won't spend more than a half hour here. Open Sundays.

Our family was here last week and decided to take a tour of the museum. Although its quite small ,only an hour to tour the entire thing, it does provide a great backdrop to the local history. Overall we did enjoy our time here
