Museum Services

What are Museum Services, and why do we need them?

A home for important local history objects!

• Glanmore National Historic Site (257 Bridge St. E.) and the Community Archives of Belleville and Hastings County (254 Pinnacle St.) are the only municipally operated facilities dedicated to the collection and care of local history material.

• These facilities collect, exhibit, store, and care for significant local history objects.

Dedicated professional staff!

• Glanmore and the Community Archives are staffed by museum and archives professionals, who are dedicated to making objects and information significant to local history available to the public.

Fun and interesting programming year-round for all ages!

• Glanmore offers a wide range of fun and informative programming for families, adults, children, students, and community organizations.

• Curriculum based programming for local schools is available.

• Throughout the year there are select Free Admission Days, where there is no charge for exploring Glanmore.

• Free family passes to Glanmore can be checked out at the Belleville Public Library.

Interesting exhibitions!

• Exhibits at Glanmore provide an important link between the community and its heritage.

• Restoration of the building highlights Glanmore’s culturally significant architecture, for which the historic house holds its National Historic Site designation.

• Temporary exhibits relating to local history or topics of community interest, are offered annually.
• Glanmore often hosts travelling exhibitions from other cultural institutions. This provides an opportunity for locals to access information and resources on diverse topics without having to travel outside of their community.
