Vintage vehicles of all sorts tell the transportation story through carriages, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, engines and aircraft \u2014all still operational.

Donald MacMillan used an identical vehicle and conversion kit in Labrador on his 1927-28 expedition, introducing the first snow machine to the region. The museum\u2019s snowmobile still runs, and events featuring it and the museum\u2019s other vehicles in action are announced on its website<\/a>.
