In early April 1885, nearly 3,000 troops coming from eastern Canada to fight in the 2nd NorthWest Rebellion transitted along the north shore of Lake Superior. It took them seven days to journey along the incomplete railway line by rail car, horse, sled, and foot through incredibly inhospitable terrain. This is their story told through contemporary documents, telegrams, memoirs and illustrations.

The Thunder Bay Museum acknowledges the original custodians of this land and pay our respect to the elders – past, present, and future – for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture, and the hopes of Indigenous Peoples. We would also like to recognize that the Thunder Bay Museum is on the traditional land of the Fort William First Nation signatory to the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850, and to acknowledge the role of the Métis Settlement in the development of our community.
