Grey Roots Museum Archives

Grey Roots Museum & Archives tells the unique stories of beautiful Grey County. Located just south of Owen Sound on Grey Road 18, the facility features exhibit galleries, archives, and a ten-acre living history site.

Come explore our exhibit galleries featuring local stories and treasures from our artifact collection. Opening this summer, Signs, Signs, Everywhere There’s Signs will explore the past hundred years of County history through its various signage from farmland to industry. More Power To You: Simple Machines in Everyday Life, explores the ways simple machines use the power of physics to make our lives better. A stunning new exhibit in the permanent gallery, Voices of Grey, shares the stories of Grey County through the words of past and present citizens.

Moreston Heritage Village is open daily throughout the summer and features historic and replica buildings including a sawmill, schoolhouse, garage, and blacksmith shop. Chat with costumed volunteers or explore the village on your own with an audio tour.

Wrap up your visit with a locally made treasure from the museum store or relax with a film in the theatre.

Admission price includes entry to the museum, the village, and the archives. Purchase a membership and receive invitations to exclusive members-only activities, discounts on programs, and free admission to Grey Roots and five other area museums.

When you visit, we ask that you work with us to keep our site safe for your family, other visitors, and our staff and volunteers. Our visitor experience is now a bit different, and all visitors (including members) are required to book a time slot for their visit in advance.
