Chairman's Letter
 elcome
to the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village;
one of the most interesting tourist attractions in Canada South located just
minutes from the U.S. border.
We are
situated on a 100 acre site housing one of the largest vehicle museums in
Ontario and a collection of several buildings and artifacts dating from the
late 1700s to the 1920s. Our
museum theme for 2006 is the 1950s and it will be complimented by our new
diner scheduled for completion in May, 2006.
Our thanks to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for contributing
towards the creation of this diner. In
addition, we offer rental
facilities for all sorts of occasions including weddings and a venue at
which many public shows and events are held throughout the year.
As
a registered charity and not-for-profit organization our dedicated volunteers and staff members
support the organization’s development and growth including its many local
community contributions.
We
encourage everyone to visit with their family and friends!
Come and discover us and experience the rich and colorful history of
this part of Canada. And please
take the time to include a trip to Colasanti’s Tropical Garden and Pelee
Island Winery both located a short distance from our site.
We
are just 45 minutes from The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan or 2
hours easy drive from London Ontario. So come out to the Canadian
Transportation Museum & Heritage Village….you’ll be happy you did.
Sincerely,
Harry Bergman
