Transcona Museum
Transcona Museum is dedicated to preserving and promoting the community heritage of Transcona and the surrounding Springfield district through our collections, exhibitions and programs. Our yearly rotating displays feature the history of the community, the railroad industry, settler life, Indigenous cultures, and the natural history of the area. The museum is located at 141 Regent Avenue West, the site of a historic 1925 building that originally served as the Bank of Toronto and later the Transcona Municipal Office.
The Transcona Museum’s largest artifact CN 2747, the first steam engine built in Western Canada at the Transcona Shops is on display in Rotary Heritage Park on Plessis Road, north of Kildare Avenue.
