Maryboro Lodge Museum — Attraction in Kawartha Lakes

🌟🌟🌟🌟 “Charming local history spot with great story and character!”

Stepped into Maryboro Lodge Museum on a friendly afternoon visit and came away genuinely impressed. The restored heritage lodge is packed with character—from its original architectural details to thoughtfully curated displays that bring local history to life.

Highlights: • Beautiful ambiance: The cozy, wood-paneled rooms and period furnishings instantly transport you back in time. • Engaging exhibits: From antique household items to vintage photographs and stories of early settlers, each exhibit is well-labelled and interesting. • Well-maintained building: Clean, accessible, and full of small treasures around every corner.

What could be even better: • A few spots felt a touch dimly lit — more lighting or spotlighting could make certain displays pop. • A small café or refreshment corner would be a nice addition for visitors lingering awhile.

We happened upon this museum on a Saturday morning and we were so pleasantly surprised! Outside they had so many fun interactive games and activities for children. There was a little food cart with lemonade and hot dogs. There was also music playing and it was such a fun way to spend a morning with our 2 year old. Everything was free (except the food) but we made sure to donate as we were so impressed with the variety and creativity of the activities. We didn't get a chance to explore inside the museum but all the staff were incredibly courteous...

Our happy place! Just perfect for kids and a family outing. The staff is so warm and welcoming. Games and crafts for kids, tea and coffee for adults. Outside there's a wide variety of games for kids and inside a collection of stories about the early days of Fenlon Falls. Don't forget to leave a donation so we can keep enjoying this gen of the Kawarthas every year. Open every day in July until Labour Day...
