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.
