The River of History Museum was opened by the Sault Sainte Marie Foundation for Culture and History in 1992, with the mission of preserving and promoting the history of the St. Mary’s River system.
Since July 1, 2009 a relocation project was successfully completed to move all exhibits and artifacts from the old Federal Building on Portage Avenue to its new location on Ashmun Street.

This well appointed and modern museum will relate the complete history of the St. Mary’s River from its formation by the glaciers through the 20th Century.
Set up in chronological order, the Museum’s galleries are furnished with exhibits of local artifacts and information about the surrounding area. The galleries and exhibits are explained by a self-monitored audio presentation. You can listen to the tales of Native Americans, French fur traders, and others who helped to tame the St. Mary’s River.
