Swords and Ploughshares Museum, Military museum in Kars, Ontario, Canada.
The Swords and Ploughshares Museum exhibits military vehicles and equipment that demonstrate the dual-purpose nature of military assets in civilian applications.
Founded in 1987 by Captains M.T. Calnan and M.J. Hilash, the museum obtained its first steel building for vehicle displays in the summer of 1991.
The museum focuses on Canadian military heritage through the lens of citizen soldiers, displaying how reservists and militiamen served during peace and wartime.
Located at 7500 Reeve Craig North, the museum opens from May through October on Sundays between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM.
The collection includes a World War II Ram tank that underwent modifications after the conflict for use as a civilian snowplow vehicle.
