The Middleville and District Museum is pleased to be supported once again in 2026 by the Perth and District CommunityFoundation Grant program. The grant supported six workshops at the Museum with Layne Sharpe as instructor for two weaving and two natural material dye workshops. Two additional workshops used a new sublimation printer purchased through the grant.
The Museum Board of Directors would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all the visitors who supported the Museum through attending past events. Take a look back at all the fun by visiting the Event Photo Gallery page.
All season long, Middleville and District Museum is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of its original opening back on May 22nd, 1976. Check out two exhibits that take visitors back to the 1970s.
