The West Parry Sound District Museum, commonly known as the Museum on Tower Hill, began as a group of dedicated citizens. Today the Museum continues to preserve and interpret the core cultural themes that carved the West Parry Sound District out of a rugged Canadian landscape and explores contemporary topics relevant to today's communities.

Help Us Get Our Train!

We are excited to announce that we will be receiving a new working model train of the Ottawa Arnprior Railway for our E. Roy Smith Gallery! This generous donation will require a remodel of the gallery, and therefore some fundraising.

In our Peter McVey Atrium we have this lovely train post-it board, but what lies beneath? To uncover the mystery underneath and to get our train to Parry Sound, we need your help and generosity. You can donate by purchasing a train card at the Museum today!

UPDATE: October 28th

Some really interesting squares have been uncovered! I think I see train tracks...

We still have a long way to go!
