Troops Celebrate In Port Arthur During 1885 Transit
In April 1885 battalion troops passing through Port Arthur enjoyed a rare break at a local bazaar. Captain Alex Campbell notes breakfast, a store visit, and an impromptu concert as 200 soldiers played pianos organs and brass while the train ran late. A Thunder Bay Museum event offers a free lecture and RSVP details.
