Trail Museum & Archives

Welcome to the Trail Museum & Archives

Always free admission with great hours of operation, drop by the museum at 1505 Bay Avenue in the Trail Riverfront Centre for a look into our collective past.

Opened in 2018 alongside its facility partners, the new museum and archives is the latest in municipal infrastructure projects dedicated to the city's culture and education.

Boasting three galleries, an extensive archival holding, and well-stocked gift shop, the Trail Museum & Archives brings local history and heritage to life. 

In partnership with the board of the Trail Historical Society, museum staff work to develop collections to bring you compelling exhibits and educational programming. Behind the scenes, staff works to ensure accessibility to the collections is enhanced, through digitization strategies and online partnerships.
