A little background info first.
Neil Young lived in Omemee during the 40's and early 50's. When his parents split up Neil went west with his mother and the rest of his family stayed in Omemee.
The Youngtown Rock and roll Museum celebrates Neil's life and work plus the great artists of the 50's 60's and 70's.
Is it worth the trip?
You better believe it is.
The museum is full of great pieces of memorabilia from the 50's through the 70's. So if you're not a Neil Young fan there is still plenty to see, hear and read.
Highlights include a marvelous Beatles display including John Lennon's hat that he wore in what would be the Beatles last photo shoot. See the Hey Jude album for a picture.
But there's more, lots more. Items from the Who, the Rolling Stones, the Guess Who. The list goes on and on.
So if you're off the beaten path and looking for somewhere to go, go to Omemee ( just outside of Peterbrough) and soak up some history.
