"FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE"
The Three Rivers Community War Museum honours those who served in the First and Second World Wars, Korean Conflict, and modern peacekeeping missions. Opened on November 11, 1998, its growing collection includes uniforms, medals, personal diaries, intelligence maps, and even sand from Normandy—donated by families wishing to preserve their loved ones’ legacy. A wall of honour and interactive exhibits offer visitors a personal and hands-on journey through local wartime history.
