This charming historical site is dedicated to the history of Coldwater and its surrounding areas. The museum's centerpiece is the Woodrow Homestead, a beautifully preserved log cabin built in the early 1840s on a former stagecoach route. Visitors can explore the homestead and other heritage buildings. Don’t miss the Coldwater Steampunk Festival occurring in the nearby village of Coldwater.
The Coldwater Canadiana Heritage Museum promotes, collects and retains the history of Coldwater and its surrounding area from 1830 to 1950. The museum is located on the original homestead site of 1836 settler Archibald Woodrow, with 2 hectares (6.6 acres) of park-like setting that includes a variety of heritage buildings, the Coldwater Heritage Trail and Heritage Gardens.
