Bring your children, grandchildren or students on a guided tour at our heritage museum. Our staff will take them on a journey through time presenting our Canadian heritage. Our displays demonstrate how our ancestors lived, worked and survived in this region and by chance, the children may meet the majestic buffalo, Napoleon.

Whatever your interests are, whether it be history, vintage clothing, hand work, textiles, 19th century artifacts, lumbering , agriculture, the Trent Canal Waterway, the history of the Bobcaygeon Railway, or just to escape to another dimension, we have it all at the Boyd Heritage Museum.
