The Sifton-Cook Heritage Centre celebrates the history of the Lake Ontario harbour town of Cobourg.  It is housed near the centre of town in a restored stone building, recently saved from collapse, and a workman’s cottage moved to the site.

A new theme is presented each year and in 2021 is celebrating “The Heinous, the Heroic and the High Flyers”.  Fall visiting hours are SAT. 10-5  SUN 1-5 until October 10 when we close for the season.  Please check our website for updates.

Outdoors, a model railway tells the story of the infamous Cobourg & Peterborugh Railway.
