The former museum collapsed several years ago
under a heavy snow load. The new museum is built
of Drummond Island logs and houses the contents
of the former museum, most of which were
salvaged. These are the collection of local
historical items, including Native American
artifacts, old family portraits and period
furniture donated by year round and summer
residents.
Artifacts from Fort Drummond, which was occupied
by the British and was, in fact, the last
British holding in the United States, are also a
part of the museum. The Fort area itself has
been private property since the late 1800s. One
of the chimneys from the Fort was donated by
Osborne Materials and has been re-erected at the
