The new museum is built of Drummond Island logs and houses the
contents of the former museum, most of which were salvaged. These
are the collection of local historical items, including Native
American artifacts, old family portraits and period furniture
donated by year round and summer residents.
Artifacts from Fort Drummond, which was occupied by the British and
was, in fact, the last British holding in the United States, are
also a part of the museum. The Fort area itself has been private

donated by Osborne Materials and has been re-erected at the new
museum.
