Tractor seats, oil lanterns, and an apple peeler that peels 60 apples per minute are also located here.

The upper floor contains household items. Approximately 300 oil lamps and 150 bathroom sets find their home here along with exquisite glassware and china. You will also find furniture, butter-making items, clocks, and laundry machines. Don't miss the copper kettles, the bottle collection, the spinning wheels, and the sewing machines.

The museum has undergone extensive renovations including a new addition with a meeting room available for groups up to 45 people. Come take a walk in the past...we think you will find it a real treasure!

The Treasure Chest Museum is the creation of Norman Hagedorn. He and his wife Ina devoted their retirement years to collecting antiques -- many of which were brought home from their travels throughout the country and overseas. In 1985, Norman opened his collection as a museum to the public in the concrete building he had just finished. The museum is now owned by the Municipality of Arran-Elderslie.
