Welcome To The Cobalt Historical Society Web Site

The Cobalt Historical Society is a non-profit corporation located in Cobalt, Ontario, Canada. Our mandate is to act as an umbrella organization for the preservation and  development of the remaining mine properties, equipment and artifacts that illustrate the important role that the Cobalt Mining Camp has played in the development of the mining industry in Ontario and in the development of Northern Ontario.
