Collection

The majority of the objects that make up the Permanent Object Collection and the Education Collection at Lang Pioneer Village Museum, have been donated by generous community members such as yourself, since the beginning of the Museum’s opening.  These objects primarily cover the time period 1820 – 1900, and are housed in the many heritage buildings that make up the Village and two dedicated collection storage areas onsite.

In addition, Lang Pioneer Village Museum also has a large Archival Collection relating to the County.  The Museum’s archival holdings include Land Registry Copy Books on loan from the Archives of Ontario since 1984.  You can view a listing of the loan materials here: Land Registry volumes held at Lang Pioneer Village Museum.

Lang Pioneer Village Museum has placed a temporary moratorium on collecting new acquisitions from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025, due to storage constraints.

On March 1, 2025 we will commence collecting acquisitions. We invite you to complete an Intent to Donate Form, which will be reviewed in sequence once our moratorium has been lifted. This form and any photographs can be emailed to collections@langpioneervillage.ca. We thank you for your continued support of the museum and look forward to seeing you soon!
