Exhibits include the early French settlers, St. Mary's Hospital and the Sisters of Notre Dame d'Evron, the Finnish community, coal mining, World War I and II, and the Trochu Tribune printing presses. Collections range from bones from the dinosaur days and aboriginal times to a 2010 Vancouver Olympics podium won by the community and Olympic Torch Relay memorabilia.
