Collingwood Museum
Located at the corner of St. Paul and Highway 26, the Collingwood Museum is housed in The Station, Collingwood's heritage building, designed in the spirit of the 1873 rail station. Museum exhibits focus on the pre-history, history, growth and development of Collingwood and area, with particular emphasis on marine, shipping and rail transportation. Situated across from the Collingwood Shipyards, the Collingwood museum houses a substantial collection of all things related to transportation and settlement of Simcoe County along the shores of Georgian Bay. The museum houses a large collection of artifacts and information related to the Northern Navigation Company and the Grand Truck Railway. The Huron Institute, with information pertaining to the Petun Indians, is also found within the Collingwood museum.

Collingwood and District Historical Society-January 6, 2020 Collingwood Dry Docks by Melissa Shaw
January 6, 2020 meeting of the Collingwood and District Historical Society featuring Melissa Shaw, Museum Supervisor at the Collingwood Museum presents: “The Dry Docks of the Collingwood Shipyards”
COLLINGWOOD, ON - 1963
Downtown Collingwood hasn't changed much in 50 years. I instantly recognized Main Street when I saw the reel and what I loved was was that there was a big ship visible in he water beyond the end of the street.
Collingwood was a big ship building centre before overseas competition and overcapacity in shipbuilding in Canada led to the demise of the industry in Collingwood in September 1986.
When this film was shot, Collingwood was very much at the height of it's manufacturing.
It's a beautiful town to visit all year around.
