The site features an agricultural fair building, log house and a barn. Children can complete a scavenger hunt or enjoy other hands-on activities. Come for a tour, explore the site and check out the gift shop!
Since 1960, the Museum on the Boyne has shared stories of the people and places that make up South Simcoe. In 2020, the museum celebrated its 60th anniversary (see the video below to explore digitally) with exhibits that trace the growth of South Simcoe from early settlement to present day — featuring a 1914 agricultural fair building, an 1865 log house, and an 1858 barn. Stop by to learn about D.A. Jones — the Bee King of Canada.
