I have visited this museum several times and while it is not large , it always offers something interesting . The pioneer village also provides a look back with wonderful volunteer guides who are very knowledgeble .

This is out in the boonies...no one is there...hardly any staff and it's impossible to get a beverage other than tap water. Most of the time, it's closed. What a waste of taxpayers dollars.

I especially enjoy the local history exhibits. It is a wonderful place to take grandchildren as they can enjoy the outdoors while learning about the history of Canada.

Agnes McPhail exhibit and film is worth seeing! I also enjoyed the outside exhibits. This is a small museum, but worth a visit - don't pass it by for years before going in.

Thank you for your review of Grey Roots! We appreciate your feedback and that you had a positive experience. Grey Roots grows and changes each year, so we hope you stop in again to find an expanded Heritage Village, new Grey Roots original exhibits on local history, and our 2013 summer blockbuster exhibit, Gods, Myths, and Mortal: Discover Ancient Greece.

Our kids just had their annual school fall fair at Grey Roots and as usual, it was fantastic. The heritage village and all of the historical buildings are awesome, especially since they have actors play the part and lead the tours. I would give it 5 stars, but there always seems to be a lot of bees around the museum......

Thank you for taking time to review your visit to Grey Roots! The Sydenham Fall Fair is such a great event, it is a pleasure to host and see everyone enjoying themselves and learning about the history of Grey County in the Heritage Village. As we are in a rural area, bees do like to visit us annually as well....
