About DUNDAS MUSEUM & ARCHIVES

From the beginning, the Dundas Museum & Archives has brought people together. Today, we are your award-winning community museum with a regional reach.

Our collections, exhibits, and events showcase how Canadian history and geography has unfolded in our unique Dundas Valley. As a place to gather, learn, and discover, we invite visitors of all ages to experience these stories and help keep them alive.

At the Dundas Museum & Archives, you’ll always find fascinating facts accompanied by a warm welcome. Our high standards in heritage education and preservation are maintained by our dedicated team of museum and archives professionals as well as a diverse group of volunteers.

As a privately funded non-profit corporation, we are grateful for additional support from the community.
