Originally a private collection, the Dairy Museum is now owned and operated by Gay Lea Foods Co-operative Ltd., a co-op of 1400+ Ontario dairy farmers. The collection contains over 22,000 artifacts related to the dairy industry and other farming activities. Located on a 98 acre property, visitors can explore the collection, enjoy a picnic and walk our trails through the Carolinian Forest.

The Co-operative Education Centre was created with a simple goal in mind:
to provide co-operators, community leaders and changemakers with an
inspiring and serene space to create and collaborate.
