Port Stanley – Canada’s Coney Island
September 30 – February, 19, 2024
Port Stanley is set to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Lord Stanley’s visit in 2024, after whom the port was named. This exhibition on Port Stanley’s historic hotels, includes selections from the recently donated Heritage Port Collection. Mackie’s, the sole surviving occupant of the old boardwalk, is represented by its large 1930 popcorn machine on loan from a private collector.
