Open from Mid-May to Mid-October, stories from the past of the Cobourg, Ontario area are told in annually changing story panels accompanied by artifacts and videos. At one time Cobourg was a major political, educational and industrial centre. Much of the industry centred around the harbour and the railway so on the grounds of the Museum is an operating model of the Cobourg & Peterborough Railway with its ill-fated Rice Lake Bridge. The Cobourg Museum Foundation (CMF) is a volunteer run, registered, not-for-profit charity, founded in 1999 by a group of citizens concerned about the state of near collapse of the limestone building locally known as the 'barracks' and now housing the Museum exhibits.
