Trinity Museum

The store room/back porch is the admission and craft demonstration area. During the operational season, staff and students demonstrate how to hook a traditional mat using scraps of cloth. Visitors are invited to try their hand at this traditional pastime.

The living room holds maps and plans as well as medical instruments, survey instruments and a spinning wheel. The washroom houses cobbler's tools, including a shoemaker's machine, hobnails and handmade leather boots. One bedroom displays saws (ice, pit, cross cut). Ships’ equipment is also featured here including a ship's log, vessel pump,about image marlin spikes and jigger moulds. Another bedroom contains army and navy uniforms from WWI and WWII, photographs, a gas mask from WWI, muskets, cannonballs and a bullet mould.

Adjacent to the main building is a fire engine shed, for the display of the 1811 fire pump used by the Garland Firm for the protection of their properties and of the settlement.
