Donations
Lang Pioneer Village Museum was established by the County of Peterborough in 1967 to celebrate and preserve the rural history of the area. With 25 acres of property, over 30 historic buildings and more than 50,000 artifacts, the Museum has many needs to ensure the protection of our region’s cultural heritage for the enjoyment and education of generations to come.
Your financial donation assists us in everything from maintaining the historic buildings and grounds, restoring and preserving artifacts, to running our daily/special programming and keeping the doors open to the past for all of us to learn from and enjoy.
Donations can be made by cash, cheque or online.
The County of Peterborough is authorized to issue tax receipts for charitable donations. A tax receipt will be issued for any donation of $100.00 or more.
