Museum launches railway exhibit

ABOYNE – Wellington County Museum and Archives’ newest exhibit is “All Aboard!” Celebrate 150 years of railway history in Wellington County.

“I tried to condense 150 years of history into a few key topics that best represent such a broad and fascinating topic,” said curatorial assistant Lindsay Woelfle, who curated the exhibit.

“This exhibit features unique artifacts and photographs that highlight important railway stories from around the county.”

The exhibit will open July 23 and run until April 2022. The Wellington County Museum and Archives is located on Wellington Road 18 between Fergus and Elora. All patrons will be screened prior to entry and are required to wear a mask or face covering at all times.

The galleries are open weekdays from 9:30am to 4:30pm and 1:00 to 5:00pm on weekends and holidays. Admission by donation.
