Wellington Heritage Museum
Wellington Heritage Museum is located in the heart of the village of Wellington. It was built in 1885 as a Quaker Meeting House and now features exhibits on local history, as well as a beautiful heritage garden, and work of contemporary sculpture by Philippe Pallafray.
Wellington Heritage Museum is a bicycle friendly site.

Friends of the Museum's Heritage Garden Project
The Friends have worked tirelessly to transform the empty lawn behind the museum into a beautiful garden featuring heritage plantings, fully accessible walkways, bench seating, and a stage area. It also features a significant piece of public art, which is the focal point of the garden, positioned prominently at its north end.
Phase one, which included the walkways, stage area, and bench pads was completed late in 2017, and phase two, which saw the sculpture installed and thousands of bulbs planted, was completed through the summer of 2018. The Friends hope that the garden will generate further interest in the museum, and will become a cultural hub for the village. The garden will be home to musical and theatrical performances; it will be a venue for art exhibitions, classes, talks, and history-based programs; and it can also host festivals, wine tastings and food-related activities. Alongside all these opportunities for activity, the garden will also provide a place for quiet contemplation, where visitors can find a few moments of peace and enjoy the beauty of their surroundings. All of this will be available to all people, at all times, whether or not the museum is open.
