This distinctive log museum in the City of Thompson, a municipally-designated historic site (2011), was established in 1990. Its mandate is to promote and preserve the heritage and history for Thompson and the surrounding region. Inside the museum is a plaque unveiled in 2004 by the Manitoba Heritage Council relating to the discovery of nickel at Thompson.
In July and August, the museum is open seven days a week between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. For the remainder of the year, it is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (closed noon to 1 PM for lunch).
