Huronia Museum

The Huronia Museum in Midland, Ontario, brings together local history, art, archaeology, Indigenous history, and Georgian Bay maritime heritage in one institution. Opened in 1947 and moved to its present Little Lake Park building in 1967, it holds nearly one million objects and includes museum galleries, an art gallery, and a reconstructed Huron/Ouendat village. Its collections emphasize Indigenous history, shipwrecks, lighthouses, military heritage, and photographs by John W. Bald. The outdoor village, based on excavations near Midland and first opened in 1956, represents Huron life before European arrival. Although fire destroyed much of it in 2007, the village reopened, and the museum continues to serve as a regional repository and educational centre.
