Chapleau Centennial Museum

The Chapleau Centennial Museum is an historical museum in Chapleau, Ontario.[1]

Opened on the Canadian Centennial (July 1, 1967), its most visible artifact is the 275 ton locomotive steam engine on display parallel to Elm Street.[2]

The Museum was built almost entirely with donated materials. Local newspaper reports showed lumber donations by local mills, rocks gathered from local rock cuts, and cash donations from many individuals.[3]
