January 6th 2025, @ 6PM at the Museum- SOLD OUT!
We are adding an event: Wednesday Jan 8 @ 6PM
Tickets are $5 plus taxes and fees
We have added a ticket price to help support the Museum in presenting these two events. We had not expected such an incredible response. We will be asking attendees who purchased free tickets for the 6th to consider a $5 donation on the night.
The City of Stratford is in the midst of determining what’s next for the former Grand Trunk Locomotive Repair Shops, known more recently as The Cooper Site.
The 18 acre property is on the cusp of Stratford’s downtown and this generational project will be integral to the City’s next 50 years.
John Kastner, former General Manger of the Stratford Perth Museum and great friend to the museum will provide a summary of THE SHOPS impact not only economically but socially.
The talk will be approximately 1 hour. It’s also an opportunity, before or after the presentation, to visit the Museum’s outstanding exhibit about the history of the Grand Trunk and CNR Locomotive Repair Shops in Stratford, Railway Century.
This will be a licensed event with snacks, and includes admission to the museum
