The museum is situated in Glebe Park on the north shore of Head Lake overlooking Haliburton Village. Reid House was picked up and moved to its new location and was refurbished as a typical village home reflecting life at the turn of the century. In subsequent years a log barn, house and small building housing the forge were added to the museum grounds in order to depict life in a more rustic & rural setting.The main gallery facility houses numerous exhibits relating to the first inhabitants of the region, the native peoples, who were followed by the first influx of lumbermen and settlers.
