This year, Museum Month also includes International Museum Day on May 18, a global celebration that recognizes museums as centers of education, innovation, and cultural connection according to Bonnie Clark, Peterborough County Warden.

“Residents and visitors are encouraged to take this opportunity to explore the many museums, galleries and heritage sites across Peterborough County, including Lang Pioneer Village Museum, one of our region’s premier historical attractions,” she said. “With its immersive 19th-century village experience, Lang Pioneer Village offers a unique window into the past and showcases the stories that shaped our communities.”
