ABOUT
There is an innate beauty and wonder in history. The Museum celebrates Canadian ingenuity and invention during the Steam Era and helps many of us to make a personal, sensual connection through sight, sound, touch and smell as the exhibits and exhibitors bring steam History alive, to rekindle, awaken and inspire.
Ontario's early manufacturing technologies began in the age of steam. A visit to the Museum will bring you to that bygone Era of practical science in 19th Century Ontario.
Come with us, take history for inspiration, ....discover, enjoy and awaken your imagination.
History is for human self knowledge.......the only clue to what man can do, is what man has done.
