There is a wide range of military memorabilia, including uniforms, webbing, bayonets, cap badges, shoulder flashes, flags, maps and swords. The museum library contains material which covers practically every war, battle or skirmish in which Canadian troops were involved. This information would be of particular value to anyone doing research in this area.There are many pictures of individuals units and locations pertaining primarily to personnel and events originating in this area and other areas that troops of local interest were involved. Also the museum has a large archival section which contains, among other things, hand-written documents and orders from about 1903. A display comprised of approximately 400 regimental buttons has recently been added to the museum's exhibits. The buttons are from Canadian, British and American units.
