OUR MISSION
To preserve and promote the community spirit of Transcona, through sharing our history and stories for the benefit of all.
OUR VISION
The heart of Transcona’s vibrant history and culture.
Locomotive CN 2747
CN 2747 is the Transcona Museum's largest artifact. It was the first steam locomotive built in Western Canada, as well as the first constructed at the CN Transcona Shops in April 1926. Following its retirement in 1960, CN 2747 was placed on permanent outdoor display in Kiwanis Park (now, Rotary Heritage Park). The Transcona Museum acquired ownership of CN 2747 in late 2015. The museum remains dedicated to the ongoing preservation of this historic steam locomotive.
Collecting Transcona, Connecting Manitoba
Collecting Transcona, Connecting Manitoba presents a history of the Transcona community through its everyday objects. These collections reflect the Transcona story within Manitoba 150 and the Year 2020. Some of these items are on public display for the first time.
We also offer several virtual tours, including our VR Tour of the museum galleries, our public photo exhibition WINDOWS @ 141, and our military exhibit Serving King & Country.
