Youngtown Museum Celebrates 2,000th Visitor

Youngtown Museum recently celebrated its 2,000th visitor- that’s nearly twice the population of Omemee!


Now into its fourth season, Youngtown operates essentially as a not for profit run by volunteers. Enjoyed by all, the museum has managed to break even on costs thus far, but the future beyond this year will most certainly require funds to allow for further growth and building maintenance. If you dig this project please consider making a donation when you visit as they are self-supporting.
Music fans will want to be sure to check out the Youngtown Museum website as well for great articles about musicians, and the music industry.

Youngtown Museum Admission is $7.00 per person children under 7 free with an adult.*Group rates available (appointment required) Please call (705) 799-2903
