Season 2025 Opening

We are getting ready to open for our 2025 season beginning May 15th and will be open until Saturday, Oct 11th.

Each year we look forward to bringing you something new, this year is no exception. We are honoured to have been awarded a brand-new exhibit from Science North — Indigenous Ingenuity. This will feature several unique and interactive components. It will open to the public on June 5th. If you have a group wishing to visit this new exhibit, please call (705) 744-5495 or email curator@mattawamuseum.ca to make arrangements.

We know you’ve been waiting…

YES, there is a New Escape Room – The Folklorist – follow us on FB and be ready to book a time for your team as soon as it is open!

Julie Lynn will be returning to Mattawa for our Julie Lynn Day on June 20th – stay tuned for details.

We are also expanding our focus on local communities and we begin with a feature on Calvin Township. Survey maps, pictures, stories and artifacts… come learn more about these stories.

The Museum Giftshop has a new look with new clothing items, artists and authors.

National Flag of Canada Day

At the stroke of noon on February 15, 1965, Canada’s red and white maple leaf flag was raised for the very first time on Parliament Hill. On the same day in 1996, National Flag of Canada Day was declared.

Our national flag is a symbol that unites Canadians and reflects the common values we take pride in — democracy, inclusion and equity.
