A big THANK YOU to the Cranberry Portage Volunteer Fire Department and others who stayed behind to protect our community.

A major project to record oral histories and digitize Museum Exhibits has begun with the support of the 2024-2025 Northern Neighbours Community Foundation grant.

The Cranberry Portage Heritage Museum Executive continues to work towards securing the former Cranberry Portage VIA Rail Station with the intent to transform it into the permanent home for the museum.

Negotiations with the American-based owners have been arduous; however, we are nearing the final stages. The Museum executive has secured the services of a lawyer to ensure that the complicated transfer of legal title and land transfer are accomplished without any problems.

Preparations are underway, that upon acquiring title to the land & building an application can be submitted to have the Museum centre designated as a provincial heritage site. Thank you to all the museum members for their past and continuing support in raising funds that will be necessary to repair and remediate the museum building for use as a proper facility to display the local history of Cranberry Portage and surrounding area.

The Plan of Subdivision was registered and pursuant to a Transfer of Land executed by Hudson Bay Railway Company Title #2588790/3 issued on April 12, 2012 in the name of the CRANBERRY PORTGAGE HERITAGE MUSEUM CORP. covering Lot 1, Plan 522645 PLTO on which is situated the old CNR/HBR Railway Station building which, once restored, will house the Cranberry Portage Heritage Museum.

The Building Acquisition Committee consists of Chairperson Leonard Gluska, Dale Streamer and Richard Gibbons.
