The Miramichi History Museum is excited to formally announce a substantial addition to our collection. Housed at the Miramichi Airport terminal is the new permanent exhibit….”The Miramichi History Museum - CFB Chatham Gallery”.
This beautiful display explores the glorious history of CFB Chatham: the brave military people who were stationed there and the aircraft that they flew. The display includes many one of a kind artifacts, plus numerous aeronautical paintings and photographs.
Feel free to stop by the Miramichi Airport and check out this beautiful new addition to our museum!

*special thanks to Jody Coakley for his assistance with this display.

With the conclusion of our 2026 season (our last day was Saturday, Aug. 29th), the board of the Miramichi History Museum would like to thank everyone who visited this summer. So many people from all over our province, our country and from all over the world. As usual, many were children who so enjoy our displays and learning about Miramichi’s history. We are so proud of our little museum and the part it plays in the community.
When the founders created our museum 129 years ago, we like to think that we are upholding what they envisioned: a place for historical preservation, a place for research and a place of learning.
Nothing encapsulates our goals more so than these pictures. This Friday Daphne Chickloski, and her daughter Nevaeh, spent time exploring our museum and sketching some of our natural history displays. Awesome….so nice to see!
Thanks so much everyone for a successful summer!

A truly unique, and important, artifact was recently donated to the Miramichi History Museum. It is a WWI era, portable recruitment office scale. Owned by a local family since shortly after the war, it had been repainted in the 1980s. This actual scale would have been used to weigh local recruits, all over Miramichi, during WWI. It could be packed up and brought to any local village or community. At the time, a recruit had to be over 125 pounds and at least five feet four inches!
Great donation. Thanks!
