    Snowshoes

    With the Aboyne and Trestle Bridge Trails close by, the Wellington County Museum and Archives is a great location for snowshoeing. We have a limited number of snowshoes for rent during our business hours. Rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no pre-registration is required. 

    Rentals are $5 per pair; all participants must sign a waiver. Snowshoes must be returned at least half-an-hour before the museum closes; 4:00 pm on weekdays and 3:30 pm on weekends.

    To protect our equipment, we require at least 10 cm of snow on the ground to rent snowshoes.

    Tobogganing

    When there is some snow, our hill is perfect for all ages! BYOS (Bring your own sled).
