There's something for everyone at the Treasure Chest.
Our one-of-a-kind museum contains hundreds of items that are sure to
fascinate individuals of all ages. Our modern two-storey building contains a wide assortment of tools from nearly every
trade, a blacksmith forge, and a collection of 300 crocks.
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.
