Explore the House of Industry and Refuge (County Poor House), the historic purpose of the Wellington County Museum and Archives, with this guided tour. Discover the real-life stories of the men and women that both lived and worked on site, and behind the scenes locations closed off to the public.
In the month of August, peak behind the curtain and see how museum staff care for the archives and collections from the Poor House and Wellington County at large. View some of our collection storage rooms, and our conservation lab as we explore the partnering of history and science.
No registration required. Weekly on Saturdays through July and August.
$5 per person, $10 for a family
