LIGONIER

The museum opened its doors in September 1997. With the visionary planning of Tina and Tom Thoburn and a dedicated steering committee, a donation of historic local lumber was secured to create Ligonier’s log cabin façade. The perfect setting for a relaxing stroll.

Whether outside surrounded by our beautiful flower gardens, or inside amongst our rotating exhibitions of American art, the museum is your tranquil get-away from the busy rush of the city. The Museum offers a full schedule of programs and activities including a variety of educational activities for kids of all ages.

Becoming accustomed with the floor plan in advance of your visit will help you find your way around the museum.  The museum is accessible to everybody! Download floor plan here.
