Greetings from Cranberry Portage Heritage Museum
Regretfully the museum remains closed. We do not know whether the museum will be able to open this year. We continue to hope.
Special arrangements can still be made for visits by contacting any of the directors.
Membership renewals are due. If you are not yet a member, please consider joining the Museum. Membership details here.
The museum has a wall of Family History booklets completed by many of the Cranberry Portage families and these are very popular to visitors. If you have not submitted yours, Family History Questionnaires are available from the Museum.
We look forward to seeing everyone as soon as possible. Please stay safe.
