In addition to our permanent exhibitions and artifact displays, the Huron County Museum maintains an active exhibition program throughout the year. Exhibitions are often drawn from our extensive collections. We also host travelling exhibitions from museums throughout the province.

Huron County Museum's 60th Anniversary

February to December 31, 2011
The Huron County Pioneer Museum opened July 4, 1951 with the generous collection of Joseph Herbert Neill. Since then our Museum has continued to collect, preserve and exhibit the story and history of Huron County. Join us in 2011 as we celebrate our 60th Anniversary with exhibits of artifacts collected through the years and events to celebrate our history.

Collecting in the 21st Century

December 4, 2011 to March 18, 2012
This exhibit is an extension of our 60th Anniversary Celebration and displays a cross section of artifacts that have been donated to the Museum in the last 10 years. The Huron County Museum would like to thank our donors for their generosity, for without them the Museum collection would not grow, and precious artifacts and history would be lost.

No. 31 Air Navigation School, Port Albert

Ongoing
During the Second World War, Canada became one of the primary air training centres for the Allied Cause. This exhibit is based on the collection of Eugene McGee, who grew up on a farm next to one of these training sites - the No. 31 Air Navigation School in Port Albert. Over several decades, McGee amassed a vast number of clippings, photos, memorabilia and artefacts related to the air base which are now on view in the upper lobby of the Museum and in the Military Gallery.
