Tara the Woolly Mammoth (our Museum Mascot!) is hitting the road this summer—and she’s inviting you along for the adventure!
Keep your eyes peeled as Tara explores communities across Bruce County in our official summer expedition vehicle—the museum van—specially dressed up as Tara herself. You never know where she might pop up next!
