  • No food or drinks, with the exception of water, are permitted inside the museum at any time.
  • Guests are prohibited to handle any artifacts or furniture. 
  • Please note that due to the historical nature of the building, only part of the house is accessible and staircases, narrow doorways and hallways may cause some barriers to mobility.
  • Please note that the basement and staff areas are off-limits to tour groups. This tour does not include access to the Leacock boathouse or any other building on the property other than the Leacock Museum.
  • Any violation of these terms and conditions can result in the cancellation of your event without refund.

 

Directions:

The museum address is 50 Museum Drive, Orillia Ontario and is located on the shores of Lake Couchiching (please see map below).

Please note, after the brief introduction from Leacock Museum Staff, this tour will be self-directed. 

When arrived, visitors will see a parking lot with white-faced buildings on either side. If you are traveling via tour bus, please have the bus park in the parking lot, or on the trail behind the museum if the parking lot is full. When arrived, please take a total head-count and let the front desk staff know how many people you have joining you on the tour so the remainder of the fee can be calculated.

The museum building is on the right side of the parking lot when facing the Lake. The front entrance doors are off the porch that faces the lake. Please follow signs on the property if needed.
