Coldwater Canadiana Heritage Museum

Coldwater Canadiana Heritage Museum

As an officially designated historical site, the Coldwater Canadiana Heritage Museum invites visitors to experience and engage with the past. The museum holds a collection of artifacts dating between the years 1830 and 1950.

As a large showpiece of their collection, the Woodrow Homestead is often promoted. Originally built in the 1840s, this homestead still sits along the old stagecoach route it was constructed upon.

The museum grounds are available to the public, providing ample places to picnic, or simply stroll through the heritage gardens. There is a gift shop on-site as well.

This event is by far the most popular that the Lions Club offers. Each year there is a parade, street fair complete with children events and live music, food vendors, and of course, the duck race.

Tickets begin sale in April at various local storefronts in Coldwater. The remaining tickets are sold at the race.

The smell of roasting candied nuts is amazing and the products are delicious.

Try the delicious slow roasted nuts, perfected in small batches.
