The Scugog Shores Museum Village shows what daily life was like in Scugog from the mid to late 1800s. We preserve, research, interpret and exhibit artifacts related to the cultural and natural history of the Township of Scugog area. The Village includes:

11 restored buildings

Heritage flower, herb and vegetable gardens

Ojibway Heritage Interpretive Lands

The Museum Village features the following buildings:

Log Cabin

Lee House

Blacksmith shop

Woodwright shop

Print shop

Harness shop

Beef ring

Head School

Head Church and Cemetery

Rodman Cabin

The Ojibway Heritage Interpretive Lands exhibit is a partnership between the Scugog Shores Museum Village and the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. Together we created an exhibit area to interpret the natural and cultural history of the Scugog Watershed before Europeans settled in the area.
