Magnetawan Heritage Centre Magnetawan

The Magnetawan Historical Museum houses artifacts from the logging and farming history of the local area. The range of holdings includes the first plant and turbine to have supplied the village with electricity as well as a 1930’s style log cabin.

This is mainly a summer attraction though. The facilities are open to the public seasonally, beginning in July and closing at the end of August.
