Glengarry Pioneer Museum in Dunvegan Ontario
The quiet village of Dunvegan, in Eastern Ontario is home to the Glengarry Pioneer Museum, which opened its doors in 1962 under the auspices of the Glengarry Historical Society. Its mandate has been to preserve, maintain, interpret and promote the artifacts, records, culture and events of the pioneers who settled in the area in order to create a tangible link with the past, and to ensure that the present generation and those to come might know and appreciate the experiences of their forebears.
The Museum's original structure started life as the MacIntosh store in the 1840s.
It then became the Star Inn, a stagecoach stop in the 1860s. It is this period that the inn is furnished to reflect...including the original barroom, believed to be one of the oldest in Eastern Ontario.
It is this period in which it remains. Once established as a museum, eight other buildings have slowly been relocated to the site from the surrounding areas to help interpret and house its rich history.
The area in which the Museum covers is primarily Glengarry county, the oldest in what was Upper Canada, now Ontario. All artifacts, whether archival documents, photographs, objects or even oral histories are items which have some link to this area, and are predominantly from the 19th century.
Explore this site more, and make plans to visit this gem of a Museum, hidden away in beautiful, rural Glengarry.

Step off the beaten path, between Ottawa and Montreal, and discover the magic of the Glengarry Pioneer Museum for yourself. Like so many of our visitors, you'll wish you had come across this little treasure long ago.
The cache is available even during closed hours of the Museum. As this is a quiet town, which is very proud of this museum please do not attempt to find this cache after dark. Remember that the Museum has given permission for this cache and the finding of it in off hours. If you are approached, just explain the you are geocaching and that the Museum has given you permission to be there.
