Business details

Description

In 1956, nickel was discovered in the area and it was agreed by the province and INCO to establish Thompson. That winter, 24 diesel powered tractor trains dubbed the "Snowball Express" moved 300,000 tons of supplies around the clock from Thicket Portage to Thompson.
In 1990, Heritage North Museum was incorporated. Our mission is to promote and preserve the heritage and history relating to Thompson and area.

A great little museum that provides you with history on Inco and Thompson. They have a small display and are located outside of town. They don't have much hands on activities for the kids that would be a great addition. They are located just outside of Thompson so they aren't a great "walking" to museum for those without cars.
