May is Museum Month!
A month to celebrate the vital role Ontario museums play in anchoring communities, preserving the past, and inspiring future generations.
Grey Roots preserves and shares the stories that define Grey County - connecting past and present and reinforcing the role museums play as a cultural backbone of community life. Living Histories: Grey County perfectly demonstrates our commitment to this mission - check it out today or tomorrow before it comes down for the summer, but don't worry if you miss it - Living Histories will return in the fall!
