Built in 1889, the building which now houses the museum was home to The Boyd
Lumber Co., The Trent Valley Navigation Co., and the private school for the Boyd
children. The story of Mossom Boyd, a 19 year old pioneer who arrived in the
'back lakes' of Upper Canada in 1833 and became the Lumber King of the Trent
Valley, as well as two generations of the Boyd family, is explained throughout the
museum. Exhibits display tools and log shanties that were used to create exquisite
textiles and lavish homes. The museum also features the Boyd Gallery which displays
the work of local artists.
