The Middleville and District Museum has an exciting new project it is working on to help make connections between the Museum and local schools located in Lanark County. After receiving a grant of $4200.00 from the Perth and District Community Foundation in early 2022, the Museum has been able to hire 2 part time students to work on this project. The Project will see five vintage suitcases stocked with materials that can be reserved and borrowed by local classrooms. Each case will offer a different theme. When the project is complete, local teachers from schools in Lanark County, will be able to bring some fun activities based on Museum content to their students right in their own classrooms.
Check back here periodically to see updates on the progress of the project.

School Visit Opportunities
The Middleville and District Museum is happy to welcome school visits to the Museum.
Museum volunteers, dressed in period clothes, are happy to provide a full program of activities for students to give them a taste of local history. In the Schoolroom, they learn what lessons were like in the 1800's. A visit to the 1830’s cabin reveals how settlers lived their lives without indoor plumbing or electricity. Other activities include the opportunity to do some weaving and learn about the settlers’ journey from the old country. A guided tour gives the students a chance to see and learn about the Museum’s many, many artifacts. Of course, no visit to an 1860’s Schoolhouse would be complete without some traditional outdoor games on the schoolyard where children have played for over a century. Games like The Graces, sack races and musical stumps show today’s students how children got exercise and had fun with simple, everyday items at hand.
A beautiful spring day in the countryside provides a perfect chance for a picnic lunch under the shade trees in the ideal setting. The Museum volunteers are eager to welcome more visitors to take a step back in time.
