Our story begins with car chases, gunfire and holiday parade mayhem on the festive downtown streets of Collingwood. It is a Christmas story unlike any other. Tune in to hear the outcome of this memorable Christmas Story and it’s lasting gift to our town.

Following the story we invite the listeners to check out a couple of our offerings for Christmas gifts. Come down to the museum or give us a call (705) 445-4811 (ext. 7221) to order digital reproductions of our historic photographs. The staff would love to help you find just the right one. Or come and see us at the Downtown Christmas Markets on December 13 and 20 and check out our newest branded t-shirts, sure to be a big hit this season!
