Markham Museum

Markham Museum is a 25-acre open-air history site in Markham, Ontario, founded in 1971 on the former Mount Joy School property and expanded as heritage buildings and surrounding farmland were added. It now includes more than 30 historic buildings and three interactive gallery spaces that present the community’s past through homes, workshops, stores, churches, agricultural structures, and transportation sites. Notable buildings range from early nineteenth-century houses to a 1936 train station, while working spaces such as the blacksmith shop, print shop, sawmill, and cider mill demonstrate older technologies. Through exhibitions, programs, AppleFest, and ScaryFest, it remains an active public history institution tied to community life.
