Winter Activities

Explore the trails and grounds of Wellington Place this winter! 

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). 

Skating

Skaters provide their own skates for our outdoor rink; we recommend a helmet as well. The rink is for skating, please do not use sticks or pucks.
