This elevation offers one of the best vantage points for viewing the surrounding countryside and is inclusive to the Oak Ridges Moraine / Peterborough Drumlin Field.

The current site was officially opened to the public on October 28, 1967 as a centennial project and includes much of the Victoria Museum's original collection.

A very rare and yet severe storm for this geographic area gained national attention within Canada and forced the creation of the Peterborough Flood Relief Committee.

While restoration of the damaged items continues, the museum did look forward to realizing an expansion proposed through a feasibility study introduced in April of that year.

In furthering the mission statement, PCMA is a campus location for a Museum Management and Curatorship Program with ties to both local post secondary educational institutions, Fleming College and Trent University.

The museum archives provide public access to historical documents collected and preserved as they relate to Peterborough and the surrounding areas.
