Elgin Military Museum
🎖️ Honouring Elgin County’s proud military heritage The Elgin Military Museum is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and interpreting the rich military history of Elgin County and its citizens—from the earliest days of the Talbot Settlement to present-day service. Founded by ordinary community members, the museum honors the extraordinary contributions of local individuals who answered the call to serve during times of war and peace. With an extensive archive boasting nearly 9,000 files on local military personnel—including records dating back to the War of 1812—the museum offers a deeply personal and comprehensive look at Elgin’s role in Canadian military history. Ongoing research ensures new stories continue to emerge, connecting visitors with the lives and sacrifices of those who shaped our nation. Project Ojibwa: A Cold War Submarine Museum
As a bold extension of its mission, the museum supports Project Ojibwa, an initiative to transform the former HMCS Ojibwa—an Oberon-class Cold War submarine—into a unique floating museum. Docked at Port Burwell, this historic submarine offers visitors an immersive glimpse into Canada’s naval history and submarine service. Project Ojibwa is a significant addition to the region’s cultural attractions, preserving a vital piece of military heritage and creating a one-of-a-kind experience for locals and visitors alike.
