(Museum)
Many artifacts are located in the Museum building, such as the pot belly stoves over 100 years old, watches and uniforms. The operators room is complete with a bay window in full view of the order board containing salvaged keyboards from the Kenora and Keewatin Canadian Pacific stations.

A legacy to enshrine the spirit of early railroading can be found in a diary log containing names, pictures and stories of any railroader having worked out of and into Kenora.

Canada has a rich history worth preserving for our future. History teaches us valuable lessons that cannot be forgotten if we are to succeed in the future.

The Kenora Canadian Pacific Rail Retirees are proud of the role they have played in Canada’s history. The result is the Lake of the Woods Railroaders Museum.

An awesome scale model, located in the lower level of the museum building, was constructed by our volunteer model railroaders, which depicts the Canadian Pacific Railway from the Lakehead through the historical explanations of Canadian Pacific’s role in helping to unite Canada.

Among the historical points they are attempting to replicate are the Kenora CPR station (designated a historic building); the Keewatin CPR station; a prairie scene; the Lake Louise station (in the modern era); the “Stoney Creek” bridge; “Morant’s Curve” and the “Spiral Tunnels”.

Again, each historical location will have an abbreviated description of the historical significance to the company, and technical details and location to a nearby community, mounted on or near the scene, to inform the public should they wish to visit the site in person.
