Step inside a modern take on Collingwood’s 1873 train station, but don’t let the exterior fool you! The Collingwood Museum’s collection stretches far beyond Collingwood’s transportation history. Exhibits range from the evolution of local business and industry to our town’s long shipbuilding history. Also on display are artifacts curated by the museum’s predecessor, the Huron Institute, established in 1904.
