Group Tours
We are pleased to welcome your group to visit Grey Roots Museum & Archives. Your group will find a wealth of sights, sounds and stories to interest everyone! Let our experienced staff suggest an itinerary to suit your interests. We offer guided tours lasting approximately one hour. Visitors may choose to enjoy our permanent gallery, see one of our featured exhibits, the Archives, or even visit Moreston Village, our historic town.
Sights and Sounds of Grey
Come and see our indoor waterfall, hear the ducks as they fly over us and feel the rock beneath your feet! This tour includes a visit through our Grey County Gallery, highlights from the changing exhibits galleries, a visit to the Archives and a film presentation of Wish You Were Here in our state-of-the-art multimedia theatre. Available year round.
Moreston – Grey Roots Heritage Village
Our village is a work-in-progress, and as the years go by, we will be adding to this community. Currently, visitors are welcome to explore the 1850 Log Cabin, the Blacksmith shop, the 1886 Log House, the 1920s Farm House, and the 1930s Bluewater Garage with their Grey Roots guide. Your group will delight in seeing the evolution of small-town life in Grey County, from first settlers to the automobile age. For your safety and protection, groups must be accompanied by a Grey Roots Interpreter, as the balance of the site is a construction zone. Available from mid-May until mid-October.
