Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum is the largest community museum in Ontario. Explore an exhibit that covers 15,000 years of human history of the land now known as Waterloo Region. Visit three Doon Heritage Village buildings — train station, blacksmith shop and Sararas House — and learn about how these buildings have changed and evolved over the years.
With nearly 50,000 items capturing life in Waterloo Region, the collection at the Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum is the most comprehensive of any local museum in Canada. These artifacts’ origins range from the 1500s to the modern era and are lovingly obtained by, and preserved in, the museum’s state-of-the-art Curatorial Centre. The acquisition and safekeeping of these items provides a comprehensive visual history of the region and its stories. But the effort to preserve the past also serves the community in understanding the present and navigating the future. Explore the Curatorial Centre in the video below.
