Owen Sound Marine-Rail Museum

Reviewed By paisleyschoolhouse - Southampton, Canada

Housed inside a historic 1932 CN Rail Station, it is the last train station of its kind in Ontario. The museum features artifacts & archives, working train models, a 1930s CNR caboose and the 1953 CNR train car as well as the area's Tourism Office. It's one of those surprising finds one makes when one slows down long enough to look around. As a bonus, you can picnic on the grounds looking out over the harbour.
