Enthusiasm Steam Engines Museums, Industrial Neighborhoods Historic preservation Museums Industrial archaeology Cultural resource management (CRM) 20th century Kingston, Ontario Canada Kingston Pump House Steam Museum

The most successful preservation efforts usually combine with a significant historical resource these elements: a local interest group willing to supply the initial muscle and future expertise on a voluntary basis, plus government programs to supply suitable advice and financial aid. The product can be a valuable economic and cultural resource for a community. A case in point is the story of the formation and development of a steam museum in Kingston, Ontario. The museum provides productive work and tourist dollars for a city pulling out of serious economic decline. It has demonstrated an enormous potential to attract, entertain, and educate the public, and to promote the City of Kingston in the entire Lake Ontario and Thousand Islands tourist region. And too, the success of the museum has not only halted the trend toward demolition of the once-busy Kingston waterfront, it has contributed generally to fostering positive attitudes towards conservation of the industrial side of Kingston's remarkable historic environment.
