Description : The museum stands majestically overlooking the once mill-laden Grand River between the towns of Fergus and Elora. Built of locally quarried limestone in 1877 as the House of Industry and Refuge, this landmark structure provided shelter for the deserving poor, the aged and the homeless for almost a century.

On July 1st, 1998, a commemorative plaque was erected by The National Historic Sites Board of Canada, to celebrate the building,s rich heritage and mark its place in history as the oldest House of Industry in Canada.
