Organisateur

Wellington County Museum and Archives

The Wellington County Museum and Archives (WCMA) tells the stories of the people and places of Wellington County. Our Mandate is to serve as a cultural centre, providing resources, programmes, exhibits, support, and services for the historical, educational, and artistic interests of our communities.

The museum is a National Historic Site, located in the oldest remaining rural House of Industry and Refuge (or 'Poor House') in Canada. The building was constructed in 1877 as place for the poor, homeless, and destitute people of Wellington County.
