Our Museum
We invite you to see the real thing at 273 Josephine Street in Wingham, in the basement of the North Huron Museum.
Unfortunately, the North Huron Museum has closed its doors, and we are looking for a new home. Current discussions include converting the Former
Railway station in Wingham into the new home of the North Huron Museum and the Barn Dance Museum.
You can see plans at http://northhuronmuseum.ca/
