Emergency crews were able to extinguish the fire quickly, and no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.

While museum employees say the damage to artifacts was minimal, one First World War billboard suffered water damage, and a handful of other artifacts within the gallery sustained minor smoke damage.

Following the fire, the museum was able to partially re-open at the beginning of May.

The Simcoe County Museum is located on Highway 26 in Minesing and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
