National Air Force Museum of Canada

The National Air Force Museum is the pride of Quinte West and a must-see when visiting the area. Located just minutes east of Trenton's downtown core, the museum boasts Canada's most skilled volunteers in the restoration of military aircraft. North America's only Halifax Bomber, recovered off the coast of Norway in 1995, is housed at the museum as part of the permanent collection. It has now been fully restored and is now available for public viewing.
