Can I get one of those?

Inside the house museum is a gift shop with local history books, pioneer toys and games, stickers, magnets, greeting cards, local maple syrup and more. We accept cash, Visa, Master Card and Debit.

Need a little extra help?

Our washrooms are barrier free. Walkways are chips and dust and suitable for all abilities. The Agricultural Centre is fully accessible, but the house museum built in 1850 does have a second floor. We can show a video/slide show of the upstairs to anyone unable to use stairs. Being a historic building we are unable to install a lift or elevator.
