Vankleek Hill Museum/Musée Vankleek Hill

The Vankleek Hill Museum was created to collect, preserve, research, exhibit and interpret objects that best serve to illustrate the founding, the settlement and the development of the town of Vankleek Hill and immediate area from 1797 to the present, with our primary focus on the time period of 1797 to 1920. To accomplish this, our Museum is within a restored 1834 building constructed for a general store. Our interpretation is based on a 19th century general store theme to reflect our community's local history. In the Fall, stop by on weekends 10:00am and 5:00pm until Thanksgiving. We will also be open Oct. 27 & 28 for Family History Weekend, and again Saturday Nov. 3rd for the Victorian Christmas House Tour and 1934 Wedding Re-enactment. The museum’s ongoing financial support comes from the generous donations of individuals and businesses in the Vankleek Hill community.
