You know what's old? The museum itself. First created in 1920, it wasn't until 1951 that the city-sanctioned board got its own space (Pictured above. Thanks for the furniture Sir James Dunn!) at the Pine Street Armoury for a library/museum.

With the Rotary Community Day Parade less than a week away, SooToday.com and the Sault Ste. Marie Museum thought it would be cool to show you how Sault Ste. Marie used to roll when it came to the annual summer tradition.
