It houses a collection of rare photographs and early newspapers, such as the Cobalt Nugget and the Northern Miner that document the history of the Mining Camp and the people of Cobalt. Over the years, yards of rare mining books, ledgers and government manuals have been preserved and are made readily available to researchers, historians, and the public. For children there is the Miniature Mining Camp exhibit and other curiosities like the Glow in the Dark Rock Room. The museum includes a specialty silver gift shop and a dedicated art gallery. The Cobalt Mining Museum is a treasure.

The Bunker Military Museum

Jim Jones was a man with a passionate hobby, collecting memorabilia from the wars of the last 100 years. Through his fascination with military memorabilia, particularly as they related to the famous Algonquin Regiment in which many local miners, farmers and artisans served with honor and courage, The Bunker Military Museum was created. It is a hobby that grew until it has become the largest museum in the Temiskaming District.

The Museum is visited by military buffs and collectors from all over the world and still maintains an active program of acquisitions of artifacts. The Museum is housed in the original Cobalt Railway Station, now a historically designated building, on the shore of Cobalt Lake just steps from downtown.

Commemorating the service of military men and women in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, Vietnam and Desert Storm, the Museum's four galleries and library hold thousands of artifacts and documents. Visitors have found a tour of The Bunker to be a memory filled nostalgic visit.
