  • Great Lakes Museums
    GreatGreat LakesLakes MuseumsMuseums Around the Great Lakes, we are blessed with a wide variety of museums devoted to preserving and caring for our historical, scientific, artistic and cultural heritage. From large, nationally sponsored institutions to small community museums, there is a wealth of information and artifacts that can truly capture your imagination. As you cruise these waters, take time to investigate these gems. (And they make a great trip by car too!). This list is organized by lake. It is not exhaustive. There are many more fine community museums in the towns and villages that dot the coastline of the Great Lakes. If you see one that you think should be added, by all means send me a note. I will be happy to update this list. For each entry, I have included only its name, the relevant port and a website if they have one. Where useful, I have also included a brief note about each. Enjoy! Michael Leahy, Publisher LAKE ONTARIO HMCS Haida Hanilton, ON hmcshaida.com HMCS Haida is the last surviving Tribal Class destroyer from WWII. She sank the most tonnage of any Canadian warship in WWII. During service in the Korean War, she joined the famous "Trainbusters Club" - that small group of daring warships who closed close enough to the enemy coastline to shell and destroy individual freight trains. Now a National Historic Site, she is open for tours. Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston Kingston, ON www.marmuseum.ca The Marine Museum of the Great Lakes in Kingston was founded in 1975.
