Memorial Day until mid-October. The new museum is now open. The former museum collapsed several years ago under a heavy snow load. 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 property since the late 1800s. One of the chimneys from the Fort was donated by Osborne Materials and has been re-erected at the new museum.
