Huronia Museum and Huron Ouendat Village

Huronia Museum is a community history museum and heritage village on Little Lake Park Road in Midland, founded in 1947 and holding nearly a million objects, from Huron and Ojibwa First Nations artifacts to the marine history of southern Georgian Bay and paintings by members of the Group of Seven.

Outside the museum building sits the Huron Ouendat Village, a full-scale replica of a palisaded settlement as it would have looked between 1500 and 1600, before European arrival. Visitors walk through a longhouse, shaman’s lodge, wigwam, sweat lodge, corn field, and fish and fur drying racks, guided by information panels rather than a tour. The village was built in 1956 by archaeologist W. Wilfrid Jury and is one of very few reconstructed longhouse sites anywhere.

Also on site are a research library with microfiche materials and the Mundys Bay Store gift shop. The museum runs hands-on school programs, day camps, holiday programming, and a film series, and is a registered not-for-profit.

Admission is $12 for adults, $8.50 for seniors, and $7.25 for youth aged 6 to 17. Children five and under are free, and First Nations, Métis, and Inuit visitors are admitted free on presentation of a status or citizenship card. Last admission is 3:30pm. (Last updated: July 22, 2026)
