Garrison Petawawa Military Museums

 

The Garrison Petawawa Military Museum is home to three main artifact collections. Each of these collections come together to give our visitors an informative and entertaining overview of Garrison Petawawa and how we fit in to Canada’s Armed Forces today.  A visit to the museum is a great family activity for people of all ages to enjoy!
