Sound Marine and Rail Museum
The Owen Sound harbour was a bustling waterfront at the turn
of the twentieth century and served as the "Gateway to
the West". From 1885 to 1911, Owen Sound prospered as
the busiest port on the Upper Great Lakes, moving immigrants
west to the prairies and bringing prairie grain east. The
museum collection includes scale models of ships, steamers,
trains, a dugout canoe, shipbuilding tools, marine and railway
uniforms, various flags and many other items relating to the
area's marine and rail past. The displays are rotated on a
regular basis, so each Museum visit offers a different glimpse
into days gone by. See Museum
