Step through our doors and journey into the heart of Lambton County's vibrant past! Since opening in 1978, Lambton Heritage Museum has grown from the passionate contributions of two local collectors into a captivating celebration of our region's heritage. Our extensive collections bring to life the stories of the people, places, and moments that shaped Lambton County. From Indigenous heritage to agricultural innovation, from the oil boom to Lake Huron—every corner of our museum invites you to connect with the rich tapestry of local history. Your adventure through Lambton County's remarkable past begins here!
