Halton Region Museum
Halton Region Museum is a museum located in Halton, Ontario, Canada which was founded in 1961. As the Museum transitions to become a heritage service provider "Heritage Services" will preserve the material and cultural heritage of Halton Region and acquire and share knowledge of the Region’s historical and natural world. Heritage Services will foster discovery, appreciation and understanding of the Region’s heritage. Currently the Halton Region Museum is located in Kelso Conservation Area at 5181 Kelso Rd, Milton, Ontario.,[1] Heritage Services offers seasonal on-site and traveling exhibits and public programming. Heritage Services will support the preservation and appreciation of the heritage of Halton Region through partnerships with museums, archives, historical societies, cultural organizations and attractions.
The Museum’s Master Plan that was approved by Regional Council in 2014 will transform the facility and services over the next few years into the Halton Heritage Centre.
