What’s in our artefact collection, and why? The Grey Roots Collecting Plan
The mission of Grey Roots is to engage and educate our communities in the human and natural history of Grey County by preserving and sharing collections, stories and memories that define our collective identity and guide our future.

Your membership will grant you access not only to Grey Roots, but also to our partner museums!
Volunteers participate in learning workshops and seminars, meet new people and make new friends, and receive many benefits.
We rent our multi-media theatre and Delton Becker Room to the community. The 75 seat theatre is an excellent venue to host films, lectures and other events.
