COLLINGWOOD MUSEUM
*************************
Collingwood Museum staff invite you to visit the museum throughout the month of February.
The museum’s newest temporary exhibit, “Timeless Treasures: Celebrating Heritage Architecture and Award-Winning Restorations,” explores Collingwood’s architectural landscape.
From the grand designs of local architects to the personal histories that shaped each building, discover the unique tales that make each site a treasured part of our town’s heritage.
Honouring Our Heritage
In partnership with the Heritage Advisory Committee, the Collingwood Museum is honoured to display a selection of Heritage Restoration Awards from the past 20 years.
As we celebrate the stewardship of heritage throughout the year and Heritage Week from Feb. 17-23, we honour the dedication of those who safeguard and invest in these iconic buildings, helping preserve our community's character and history.
Celebrating Black History Month
Celebrate Black History Month by exploring local, regional, and national content on the museum’s website.
This year’s theme, Black Legacy and Leadership: Celebrating Canadian History and Uplifting Future Generations, highlights and honours the ongoing contributions of Black communities locally and across Canada.
Visit the website regularly for updates and opportunities to engage.
History of Hockey

The exhibit is meant to whet your appetite and includes links to additional resources, including the Stories from Another Day podcast and recent publications featuring the stories of Collingwood’s hockey past and present.
