Home & Heritage Photography Exhibition at the Museum of Dufferin
Museum of Dufferin
The Museum of Dufferin (MoD), located in the rolling hills of Mulmur Township, is a place where local stories, history, and creativity come together. Situated on the traditional territories of the Tionontati (Pétun), Attawandaron (Neutral), Haudenosaunee (Six Nations), and Anishinaabe peoples. The museum’s roots date back to 1963 with the founding of the Dufferin County Historical Society. In 1994, the growing collection found its permanent home in the iconic “big green barn with the red roof.” Today, the MoD offers engaging exhibitions, events, workshops, and programs for visitors of all ages, welcoming travelers and community members alike to explore local history, discover regional art, and experience the stories that shape Dufferin County.
