Whitchurch-Stouffville

Museum & Community Centre

The Town of Stouffville’s Museum and Community Centre provides programs and services so you can explore and celebrate our local history, culture and heritage. With over 18,000 artifacts in our collection and a variety of interactive programs and exhibits, experience the local lifestyle of the 1800s combined with modern amenities.

Explore the permanent and temporary exhibits the museum has to offer, including several historic buildings.

 

The idea for the museum began in 1969 as a community-based project brought forward by local residents with a passion for Canadian history and a love for the Town. Since 1971, the site has grown from the original museum building, the Bogarttown School House (built in 1857), and now includes:

  • A historic barn and outhouse
  • A log cabin (circa 1850)
  • A Victorian-era farmhouse (circa 1860)
  • The Vandorf Public School (1870)
  • A modern facility added in 2012
