The Miami Museum
Incorporated in 1972, The Miami Museum has sustained more than 42 years of continued contributions to local heritage. You can view wonderful displays inside, including the Marion, a doll donated to us by Joan Driedger. With the help of dedicated volunteers, it has gone through a wonderful transformation this year.
