Sanctuary Wood Hill 62

The museum displays an extensive collection of World War I artifacts, including military equipment, personal belongings, and preserved trench sections from the battlefield.

Canadian forces defended Hill 62 against German attacks in June 1916, resulting in significant casualties and the establishment of strategic military positions.

The museum preserves photographs and stereoscopic images that document the daily experiences of soldiers who served on the Western Front during World War I.

Visitors can access the museum daily from 9:00 to 18:00, except for the annual closure period between December 30 and January 30.

The site maintains original trenches from World War I, allowing visitors to walk through the same passages where soldiers fought a century ago.
