Ameliasburgh Historical Museum 5.0 (reviews)

Ameliasburgh Historical Museum has grown from one building, in 1968, to a full pioneer village. The main structure was built in 1868 as a Wesleyan Methodist Church. It became a United Church in 1925 and served the community until 1967.

Over the years, several additional buildings have been added to the site. A log cabin, display barns, an operational blacksmith shop, a sap shanty, dairy and bee-keeping buildings, and a large stone building housing the Goldie Corliss 18 foot flywheel. A highlight is Amelia’s Tea Room, which offers breakfast and/or lunch during Special Events on site.

You'll also see the Vries Natural Heritage Collection which is a collection of nearly 500 specimens of taxidermy. These range from song birds to mammals, fish and more and it one of the finisest private collections of taxidermy in the area. It also tells incredble stories about the natural worls and the conservation efforts of huumankind. The majority of the specimens were not hunting trophies, but vistims on busy roadways. The collection shows the love for wildlife and the gift of bringing the creatures back to life. 

They also run seasonal events, one of which is Santa's Village during the festive period! Explore where Santa lives and see him in person for a festive day out for the whole family.
