About

The Sunderland Museum

The Sunderland & District Historical Society is a group of dedicated volunteers devoted to stimulatating public interest in the history of the people and places in and around the village of Sunderland.

Our work involves the Sunderland Museum’s maintenance including the collection, classification, preservation and presentation of information and artifacts that reflect our local history.

We educate by improving community understanding and awareness of our local history by hosting events, supporting programs, and producing educational materials.

Our volunteers support those researching their ancestry by accessing the museum’s considerable documentation on local families and settlements, local veterans, lot histories, cemeteries, school histories and so much more.

This museum has many historical articles from Brock Township. These items document the history of Sunderland, its people and past events. Many historical records describe the properties, family trees and cemetery records of former residents.

The museum is open to the public during the Sunderland Agricultural Fall Fair and the Sunderland Maple Syrup Festival.

Visits to the museum may be arranged by appointment by calling 705 357-2533 or by contacting us in advance by e-mail.
