The Cumberland Museum and Archives shares the stories that shape this community — the rich and the working class, the powerful and the rebellious, the righteous and the radical. From coal miners and labour movements to immigrant histories and local legends, we honour the voices that built Cumberland.
We invite you to explore our dynamic exhibits and evolving galleries that bring this unique history to life. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning to discover what’s new, we look forward to welcoming you.
