Museums
The best way to get to know about a community is often through a visit to its museum. Thunder Bay actually has several museums including a Sports Hall of Fame, a pioneer village, a massive reconstructed fur trade fort -- Fort William Historical Park--and the Thunder Bay Historical Museum. Most of the region's communities offer their own glimpses of their colourful past. Stop in and look around -- and visit with the friendly staff, many of whom have been sharing stories about life in their town for years.
