Simcoe County's Cultural Network

Are you looking for an adventure?

You've come to the right spot!  Simcoe County has a great deal to offer visitors with a wealth of history, art, culture waiting to be explored.


To get the word out about all that awaits, a group of Simcoe County museums, art galleries and historic sites, known as Sumac, joined together to bring you this booklet of inspiration.  It offers a glimpse into the uniqueness of each organization and what they have to offer.

These cultural spaces, filled with exhibits, stories and fun activities will fascinate, perplex, amaze and amuse, and sometimes, move you to tears, all in the same place.

This is where history really does come alive, where art elevates and inspires, and where you learn about the past, present and future.

Using this booklet as your guide, take this opportunity to meet some of the people who have shaped their communities and made invaluable contributions to the world.  Their common ground is Simcoe County, but their stories are those of Canada. 

More than intriguing artifacts, these organizations connect the past to the present through education programs, online blogs, social media, changing exhibitions and special events.  Many offer picturesque setting perfect for day tripping and a picnic.
