Huron County Museum Winter Activities

The Huron County Museum in Goderich is the perfect place to hide away from the icy winds and wet snow. In addition to the excellent collection of historical artifacts, temporary exhibits, and art collections, the staff have put together some engaging activities that will get you to experience the museum in a whole new way.

 

Exercise your body and your mind this winter with the addition of Scrabble and social time to regular Museum Walkers. Don’t miss out on your walk just because of ice, snow, slush, rain or cold temperatures! Drop into the Museum for indoor walking Tuesday to Friday during the winter. Enjoy the exhibits on Huron County’s history while you get your steps in! Three museum laps equal about one kilometre. Routes are available with stairs or without.

 

Once a month, walkers interested in enjoying a social walk are invited to meet in the upper mezzanine for complimentary coffee and word games after walking. Before the Scrabble board is refreshed, scores will be counted & a prize will go to the highest scoring walker from the previous month. Walkers don’t need to attend the monthly social to qualify. 

 

Starting in January, Walking Scrabble can be enjoyed at any time during regular museum hours. Pick up a Museum Walkers map at the front desk and choose your desired route. At the completion of one loop as outlined on the map, pick up a Scrabble letter from the front desk. Collect letters to play your best-scoring word on the Scrabble board anytime you’re walking.

 

All activities included with regular admission or free with museum membership or a Huron County Library card. Walking is available when the museum is open, with recommended times  Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Thursday evening from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

 

Running the third Thursday evening of each month (until March), the museum hosts Multilingual Movie Nights to celebrate the different languages spoken across Huron County. All films are screened in their original languages and include refreshments. Movie nights are included with regular admission to the museum, free for museum members, or free/by-donation with your Huron County Library card. Pre-registration is encouraged to ensure adequate refreshments are available. To find out more about these activities and more, visit the website at www.huroncountymuseum.ca 110 North St, Goderich
