The Missisquoi Museum houses its collection in 3 different buildings: The Cornell Mill; the Walbridge Barn and Hodge's General Store. Articles of historical interest began to be collected by the Missisquoi County Historical Society in 1899. From 1963-1964, the Society looked after the growing collection and mounted displays in an old school in Dunham, QC. Eventually they secured the former grist mill in Stanbridge East in which to house the Museum. After much fundraising and preparation, the new home of the Missisquoi Museum was opened to the public on July 19, 1964. Today, the museum features the "Doris Jones McIntosh Annex", (which houses the Archives) and the "Paige Knight Gallery" which is located on the first floor of the Missisquoi Museum. The gallery is an exhibition space that presents, in partnership with the Carrefour Culturel of Stanbridge East, an array of art from the local community. The Missisquoi Museum has a collection of over 30,000 artefacts including 4,000 photographs, in addition to archival materials. Collections are used in the permanent and temporary exhibitions which reflect this region's social, cultural and agricultural history. VISION To be a community museum that makes a difference. MISSION STATEMENT The MHS is dedicated to the preservation, interpretation and presentation of the history of Missisquoi County. Located at 2 River Street, Stanbridge East QC, the Museum is open to the public daily, from 11:00 to 4:30 p.m. from the end of May to Mid October.
