An exhibit from Canada Agriculture and Food Museum

Have you ever wondered why food spoils? A Taste of Science highlights the role science plays in delaying food decay and keeping food nutritious and safe for us to eat. In this engaging experience, immerse yourself in an oversized “pantry” and discover what makes food spoil, and different food preservation techniques. You’ll find lots to feed your mind and imagination on the menu!

Lambton Gallery

The Lambton Gallery is a thematic overview of our local history. Discover how our communities have changed in dramatic ways over time, but also things we have in common with the people that came before us. Some of the themes that are explored include the natural world and biodiversity, key local industries, arts and culture, the study of archaeology, and more.

Exhibition Halls

These two exhibition halls contain agricultural machinery, tools, wagons, and more! Many were manufactured in Lambton County. You can view the museum's largest steam engines and threshing machines in these buildings. Also on display is a rare, horse-drawn ambulance, made by Petrolia Wagon Works and used in Lambton's oil fields over 100 years ago.

The White Agricultural Building will be closed for the 2025 season as we refresh and revamp this space. The Brown Transportation Building remains open with our collection of buggies, tractors, sleighs, and steam engines. We appreciate your understanding as we work to enhance your museum experience.
