Museum of Dufferin
A barn-form building with four floors and three life-size historic buildings inside it, plus the Corbetton Church on the grounds. Five dollars, and easily three hours.

Hours
Tue–Sat 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Closed Sunday and Monday.
A purpose-built barn-form building with four floors and three life-size historic buildings inside it — which is a stranger and better idea than it sounds — plus the historic Corbetton Church on the grounds.
Permanent Corn Flower Glass Gallery, a Silo Gallery at the top, and the Dufferin County Archives. At $5 it’s the best-value indoor afternoon in the county, and three hours goes quickly.
Noise-cancelling headphones are available to sign out, which is a quietly excellent piece of accessibility that almost nowhere else offers.

One date we can’t confirm. Sources disagree on when Home & Heritage closes — some say 26 September, others 24 October. We’ve held the earlier date everywhere on this site, because sending someone up Airport Road to a closed exhibition is the worse mistake. Phone the museum if you’re planning around it.
Details checked July 27, 2026. Fees, hours and closures change — phone ahead for anything that would ruin the trip if it were wrong.
