Welcome to the Mallaig museum web page. It is an old church that Monique Ouellette runs and set up as a museum. It contains antique farming tools, and old war antiques. It doesn't cost anything to tour the museum, but if you would like to make a donation, your offer will be more than appreciated. In this site you can check out the history,hours,and the collection of items they have at the museum.

           The Museum's main building was originally Mallaig's 1st Baptist Church, used from 1931 to 1975. The old church was then moved to the nearby Haglund family farm with the hope of enlarging the Enoch Haglund museum there. This did not materialize. In October 1992, with help from the County of St. Paul, the building was moved back to Mallaig.

          A group of 16 interested people formed the museum's board of directors. In 1992 to 1995, they renovated and cleaned up the old church, then catalogued the artifacts and organized temporary exhibits. The bulk of their items then, were donated by the Haglund family.

          Enoch Haglund (deceased in 1976), was one of the early settlers arriving in Mallaig in 1909. Long will he be remembered for his remarkable talents in oil, painting, wood carving, taxidermy, photography, and diamond-willow furniture construction--several of which are displayed throughout the museum.

          The Mallaig Haglund Museum opened its doors to the public to coincide with Mallaig Family Fun Days in July, 1995. On September 18, 1996, the museum celebrated its official opening and was dedicated to Enoch Haglund. A luncheon was served outdoors and the opening exercises were enjoyed by a crowd of over 200 people who had the opportunity to reminisce and enjoy an outdoor opry.

          In 1997 the museum's name was changed to Mallaig and District Museum to reflect the history of settlers throughout the area.
