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 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
Chairman
