Canadian Fire Fighter’s Museum Closes Permanently – At Least On Mill Street South in Port Hope

In Community, Local, News, Photo Gallery

It’s the end of an era – at least for now.

The final day for the Canadian Fire Fighter’s Museum was held on Saturday, March 31, 2018 at the Mill Street South location in Port Hope.

For other three decades the land was the home of the CFFM, but the the land will be remediated as part of the Port Hope Area Initiative.

For volunteers at the museum it’s a major setback, but they still haven’t lost all hope at finding another home for the museum.
