This museum, located in the small town of Connaught, just 30 miles east of Timmins, stands as a bold reminder of the community’s past. While situated in Connaught, the museum has artifacts and vintage photographs from the entire region that encompasses Timmins.

With items dating back over 300 years, the Connaught Pioneer Museum documents the region’s history. From the time the indigenous habited the area through the days when the Hudson’s Bay Company navigated the rivers. It hasn’t been missed much and should definitely not be missed!
