About

The Cumberland Museum and Archives is on Dunsmuir Avenue, the main street of the village of Cumberland. It tells the story of the community, which grew up around coal mining and was shaped by the many people who came from around the world to live and work here.

The galleries cover the village's past and the lives of the families who built it. A current exhibit, Stolen Bases, adds to that story, and the museum also offers a digital museum so people can explore parts of the collection online.

The archives hold photographs, records and documents about Cumberland and its people, and they are a valuable resource for anyone researching local history or their own family roots in the area.

The museum takes part in village life too. Its Winterfaire runs on November 28 and 29, a seasonal event that brings people together in the lead-up to the holidays.

The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 am to 4:30 pm. Admission is $6 for adults and $15 for a family. It makes a good stop before or after a ride on the village trails, a visit to the shops and cafes along the main street, or a walk through the surrounding forest.
