Museums & Archives

preserving, celebrating, and sharing our heritage

We work to collect, preserve and present locally significant archives and artifacts that are the history and heritage of local villages and communities that comprises the Municipality of Clarington.

The Museum and Archival collections preserve and share the heritage of the towns and villages that make up the Municipality of Clarington, so that future generations of residents can know our proud roots.

Join us in preserving, celebrating, and sharing the experiences of Clarington's residents past and present. Uncover the new stories, appreciate the beauty of creativity, and let our museums and archives inspire you.
