History
heritage village

The Minden Hills Museum & Heritage Village invites visitors to imagine what life was like 150 years ago back when Minden was a rough and tumble logging town.

The Heritage Village is made up of five historic buildings, moved here to preserve and celebrate Minden’s history. Come and explore Bowron House, a log cabin from the 1860s with a working wood stove, practice your spelling at Stanhope Schoolhouse from 1898 or view exhibits in the Stirling Bank building.

Costumed interpreters run daily activities from June – August.

The museum is open with displays and self-guided activities from May Victoria Day long weekend to October Thanksgiving weekend.
