We are in the heart of the Talbot Settlement, on the shores of Lake Erie. Enjoy the Storey Wetlands Trail, Spicer Trail, heritage gardens, historic barn, outbuildings, Agricultural Centre, and our 1850s Georgian style house museum. Discover period room settings that tell the story of the Backus and Page families and changing exhibits showcasing the rural communities of Dutton-Dunwich and West Elgin.
We also have children’s programming Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 10-11am or 1-2pm throughout the summer. We hope to see you there!
