American Civil War

We have offered the museum grounds to Confederate and Union army reenactors who will be showing life during the American Civil War.  Over 50000 Canadians participated in this conflict and farmers in our area supplied the Union Army through Port Tyrconnell and Lake Erie.

Museum and Agricultural Centre buildings can be toured with the usual museum admission rate of $10/adult and $5/child.  No food booth will be on site so please bring your own picnic lunch. https://backuspagehouse.ca/events/
