Country Heritage Park

Country Heritage Park in Milton, Ontario preserves and interprets the province’s agricultural past through historic buildings, artifacts, and recreated rural settings. Established after Ontario acquired Charles Matthews’s farm collection, it was authorized in 1967 and developed in stages during the 1970s on a large site near Kelso Conservation Area. Public interest grew before its formal opening in 1979, and its collection expanded rapidly to thousands of donated objects and numerous exhibit structures. After provincial funding cuts in 1997, a non-profit took over and made the operation sustainable through admissions, programs, tours, rentals, and events. Renamed in 2000, it continues to serve both educational and community uses.
