Join us for a cup of tea, Fluid coffee and some sweet treats to kick off the 2025 season. Local aerial farm photographs will be on display. ​

On Opening Day, the Museum will be featuring local aerial farm photographs. These photographs were taken from small planes by airforce pilots and then sold to the farm owners.   Many families proudly displayed the photographs in their home. Come and enjoy this visual record of agricultural history in the area. 

If you have a local farm photograph and would like it to be included in the display, please contact the Museum at [email protected] in advance.

The Middleville and District Museum started in an 1861 stone schoolhouse in the village of Middleville, Ontario. The museum building expanded in the 1970s and again in 2013 to over 5000 square feet to accommodate its extensive collection of local artifacts which include a pioneer cabin, pioneer tools, horse drawn hearse, 1922 Model T Ford, woven textiles, agricultural implements, household items and an entire classroom! The Indigenous, Blacksmith, Cobbler, Carpenter, General Store, World War and Church exhibits are visitor favourites. The Museum is home to a large collection of local archival and genealogical records.
Come step into the past and explore pioneer history.
