Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village

The Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village spans a 100‑acre site featuring a 25,000 sq ft transportation museum, an Ambulance Museum, a 1950s‑themed diner and 20+ restored heritage buildings. Exhibits cover Canadian transportation history from early cars to late 20th‑century vehicles.

The site also runs seasonal programs, hands‑on education sessions and recurring events such as the Fun on Wheels car show. Operated by the Historic Vehicle Society of Ontario, it doubles as an event venue with spaces for rentals and community programming.

On arrival you can tour indoor exhibits of historic cars and ambulances, visit the restored heritage village buildings (church, one‑room schoolhouse, general store), and have classic diner fare at the 1950s Diner.
