Summer Activities

Explore the grounds of Wellington Place as part of your visit to the Wellington County Museum and Archives.

Make a day of it! 

  • Picnic using our tables or BYO picnic blanket. If you don’t feel like packing something from home you can pick-up takeout in Elora or Fergus, both towns are a five-minute drive away.
  • Hike or bike our trails. You can explore a forested loop that provides access to the Grand River, head to Elora and Fergus, or connect to the Elora Cataract Trailway
  • Visiting with children? Our playground is in front of the barn. Be sure to say hello to the chickens when you pass the coop!
