Glengarry Pioneer Museum
The museum features twelve 19th-century log or wood-frame buildings with historic artifacts. The buildings include a mid-19th-century period inn (the oldest still-functioning bar in Ontario), a functioning blacksmith shop, a livery shed with farming equipment, a cheese factory, a barn with sleighs, a barn with tools, a trapper's cabin and a schoolhouse. The former township hall building features several displays including a general store, a doctor's office, the roles of women in the household, the War of 1812 and other exhibits. An 1870s "Orange Lodge" houses a reception area, gift shop, displays, and offices. The most recent addition is an open-sided pavilion suitable for fairs, presentations, large parties and receptions.
The museum is open seasonally: daily in the summer; weekends spring and fall.
