Chapleau Centennial Museum

Chapleau Centennial Museum was opened on Canadian Centennial (July 1, 1967) at 94 Monk Street in Chapleau, Ontario.[1] The museum's most visible artifact is the 275 ton steam engine that sits on display parallel to Elm Street.[2]

The Museum was built almost entirely with donated materials. Local newspaper reports showed lumber donations by local mills, rocks gathered from local rock cuts, and cash donations from many individuals.[3]
