Palmerston Railway Heritage Museum

Recommended by Amna Bibi

Freeze time and walk down history lane with the classical Palmerston Railway heritage museum!

The museum, built in 1871, is the last original railway station in Wellington county and the perfect destination for history fanatics and families!

 

 

The railway museum displays multiple railway and Victorian-era artifacts which are contributed with love from the surrounding community, along with a wide range of railway books that are available in the museum’s genealogy room for visitors who are interested in their ancestral history with the railroads. The museum is a non-profit organization operated by volunteers, who offer many facilities such as miniature train rides and perplexing museum tours during the summer season (June-august) and requested tours during the off-season (September-May) if you experience the aura and taste of history in one of Canada’s greatest railway towns!

Palmerston Lions Heritage Park

Located in the heart of the town, this scenic park has been a community gathering spot since the start. The multi-purpose park has many amenities catered to people of all ages. These amenities include a splash pad, a basketball and ball hockey sports area, a tennis court and a playground for children. There is also a picnic area for gatherings with picnic tables, benches and a pavilion.

 

 

The park also represents the town’s history, with plaques that tell stories through words and pictures placed around the park. A recent addition, the well-lit walking path, provides an entrance to the park from Main Street to the Fire Station on King Street. The path is also great for visitors who want to take a stroll. A snapshot of the town’s breathtaking beauty, the Palmerston Lions Heritage Park is a must-visit!

CNR Park

Filled with rich stories, the CNR Park is a true reflection of Canadian history and railway evolution. Before its transformation into the park, the land was the Palmerston station and rail yard. The CNR donated the area to the town, restoring it and turning it into a tourist and historical site. The park includes amenities like a swimming pool, tennis courts, walking trails, and interpretive signs narrating the mass history of the park.

 

 

The last steam engine to operate in the Palmerston yard was also donated by the Canadian National Railways (CNR) and is currently the highlight display at the park. Other displays at the park include a box car and two cabooses on the retained rail line beside the station. Visit this park for a peek into the town’s rich history!

Norgan Theatre

A true moviegoers destination, the Norgan Theatre has maintained its tradition of providing locals with non-stop entertainment for over 70 years! The theatre opened in 1947 after businessman George Norgan noticed the need for leisure activities in the town and donated $50,000 to construct the theatre.

The theatre offers a variety of films at rates of $8 per adult and $5 per child. This community favourite is entirely run by volunteers who support keeping the theatre thriving by donating their time and energy to keep this attraction active for their community and tourists. This theatre is the epitome of old-time charm and classic cinema for film lovers who love the community’s close-knit experience.
