Committed to preserving the history of Haileybury, the Haileybury Heritage Museum has a collection of 700 items, including photographs, vehicles, clothes and objects of the past. One of the important items on display that discuss one of the “ten worst disasters” in Canadian history is a streetcar that the museum restored.
The streetcar artifact highlights the horrific memory of 4 October 1922, a fire that covered approximately 300,000 acres to the border of Montreal and once destroyed Haileybury town as a whole.
