Organisateur
Elman W. Campbell Museum
The Elman W. Campbell Museum relocated to the former North York Registry Office in 1996. The building is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and is the last remaining 19th-century registry office from York County. Built in the formal Classical Revival style in 1884, the structure was designed to be fire-proof. It features two-foot-thick brick walls, a cut stone foundation and a slate roof. It is unique in having transverse vaults rather than a vault extending the length of the building. The museum is located on Main Street in historic downtown Newmarket.
Drop by for a free visit to learn and explore:
New exhibit, 'Lanterns, Teapots and Quilts; Off the Grid Living'

Log Cabin room setting

Tabletop activities for children including wooden train set, wooden doll house, build a log cabin, slates with chalk and more
Elman W. Campbell was a Main Street merchant from the 1930s through the 1970s. Council named the Museum after him because of his generous support for the Museum.
The Museum's mandate is to provide insight into the First Peoples of the area and the experiences of Newmarket's early settlers, brought to life through historical objects during the early 1800s up to 30 years before present.
