Come and experience the Lambton Heritage Museum's beautiful grounds!

Explore the unique oak savanna habitat around the main museum and historic buildings. The Woodland Heritage Trail is a one kilometer loop through the forest.

The Woodland Heritage Trail is named in honour of Ontario's Woodland Indigenous people. They inhabited the area from 1000-1650 and fished, hunted, and worked flint in this area.

Snowshoes are available for rent at the museum (seasonal). There are a variety of sizes for adults and children (who have to be over 60 pounds to use the equipment). Regular museum admission prices include the snowshoe rental.

You can access the information from the trail's interpretive panels below. Learn about the unique oak savanna habitat, the changing landscape, and Indigenous uses of the land.
