Welcome to the Elgin County Museum! The Museum opened in its new facility on the fourth floor of the County Administration building at 450 Sunset Drive, in the fall of 2006. Many significant improvements to the Museum include climate-controlled storage areas, customized exhibit space, greater opportunities for public programming and the ability to provide outreach services to County museums.

Our current exhibitions are Signature Quilts: Community Patterns and Kirtley Jarvis: Dotted Line.

"Signature Quilts: Community Patterns," features a type of quilt popular from the 1890s to the 1960s often used to raise funds. Containing, in some cases, hundreds of names, they represent church groups, schools and organizations from all over Elgin County.

Running in conjunction with Signature Quilts is "Kirtley Jarvis: Dotted Line." Kirtley Jarvis is the Museum’s 2009 Artist-in-Residence and has created a number of mixed-media works in response to her year-long experience immersed in the people, places and events represented by the collections at the Elgin County Museum.
