Just a reminder that the museum will be closed on Family Day, Monday, Februrary 21, but will re-open on Tuesday, February 22.

Wishing everyone a happy Family Day weekend!

Huronia Museum will be re-opening to the public as of January 31. Our hours will be the same as prior to the closure, Monday to Friday, 9AM to 4PM, with our last time for admission at 3PM.

Visits do not need to be pre-booked, but groups may be asked to wait a few moments to allow space between entrances. All visits are self-guided, but while one site we ask our visitors to follow the directional arrows as they move through the museum and that all members of a group remain together. This will allow for plenty of space for social distancing when there are multiple visitor groups at one time.

As before, masks are mandatory will visiting or shopping in our store.

In an effort to keep both staff and visitors safe we are limiting the number of people in the building at anyone time to 50%, in keeping with government guidelines. To help control our numbers and limit contact the museum’s archives will remain closed until such time as they can be operated safely for everyone; we will also not be admitting volunteers at this time.

For anyone wishing to meet with a staff member, we ask that you call ahead to arrange a time. Staff will still be working from home from time to time and this will help to limit contact and keep our staff safe. Staff will attempt to resolve any issues by phone or email, where possible. Otherwise they will arrange a specific time to meet with anyone where that is not possible.

If you have any questions or need assistance you can call the museum at 705-526-2844 or email us at huroniamuseum@gmail.com

In accordance with the new provincial restrictions, Huronia Museum will be closed to the public as of Wednesday, January 5, 2022. We will remain closed for three weeks, or until the province lifts restrictions, should they be extended.

Should you need to contact staff you can reach them by email at huroniamuseum@gmail.com or by phone at 705-526-2844. Please be aware that staff will, in part, be working from home so it may take a day or two to get a response.

If you need to return or exchange a Christmas gift, please call ahead to arrange a time to ensure that someone is on hand to help.

We will also not be accepting new artifact donations during this time, but you can reach our curator, either by phone or email, to discuss possible donations and make arrangements for after we are able to reopen.
