First, there was a gold rush in the Porcupine mining camp. Then, after founding the Hollinger gold mine in 1911, Noah Timmins started developing land to the west of it as the downtown.
In last week’s examination of local history, museum director-curator Karen Bachmann told us of the first stores and hotels that started popping up the following year.
“Aside from putting in all these businesses, he also realized that we need to have a train station that is half decent and that is bringing people into the downtown core, what will become the downtown core of Timmins,” Bachmann narrates. “And that’s where our train station still sits.”
