The Stratford Perth Museum is a 5-acre site complemented by an 1870 Victorian buff brick house with an extension, woodlots, and trails. The home was built for Thomas Holliday, who purchased 100 acres on the Huron Road and raised 10 children with his wife, Mary Holliday. The family sold the property to Wesley Thurston in 1946 who developed an equine operation. The Museum's collection of over 35,000 artifacts now sits on the footprint of the Thurston horse barn.
