The century old former CN Station and grounds, have been purchased by Mr. Ralph Bangay a local historian. On the back track are some examples of Canadian railway equipment he has acquired for restoration and display. The station will also reflect Brighton's historical past, as well as the area's rich Marine history. The museum is open most of the year. All work is done by dedicated volunteers.
Admission is free and donations for the ongoing restoration are always welcome.
The cars were built in Canada and have been restored to their original beauty. In fact, the visitors can view not only trains, streetcars and all their related infrastructure, but can also use these various means of transportation right on the Museum grounds. One of Montreal s last operating streetcars, the Golden Chariot, and our popular garden train operate daily on the site, weather permitting. And every Sunday a train will carry its visitors for a short ride up to Mont e des Bouleaux and back. The beautiful 1901 neo-classical Old Territorial Administration Building harbours the Dawson City Museum, the largest historical collection in the Yukon Territory.
