Visitors will enjoy hooking a rag mat with costumed interpreters in the pioneer workshop, printing a bookmark, following the train as it weaves through an historic model railway layout, and feeling the power of water. Discover Canada's oldest steam locomotives, Samson and Albion, and a beautiful pressed glass collection.
