Visit the place where Canal Days began! 

Visiting the Port Colborne Historical & Marine Museum during Canal Days is a great way to learn about the marine history of Port Colborne, experience activities and re-enactments, see historical demonstrations, and so much more. Plus, it's nice and shady if the weather is blazing hot. Don't miss out!   

  

Starting in 1979, the Port Colborne Historical and Marine Museum, in partnership with community groups and volunteers, came together to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the first opening of the Welland Canal!  

  

Since then, the Museum has continued to offer a family-friendly place to celebrate the community’s rich marine heritage through historical demonstrations, kiddie train rides, face painting, dress-up, marine games with prizes, a giant sandbox, and more old-fashioned fun!
