Exhibits
Current and upcoming Grey Roots exhibits
Saukiing Anishnaabekiing presents Our Stories
This beautiful exhibit, created by celebrated Indigenous artist Nyle Miigizi Johnston, invokes Anishnaabe creation stories, while driving home the massive impact the treaty process had and continues to have on First Nations communities.
Abundance
Grey County is distinct for its natural richness – its land, forest and water have sustained and protected the many people who have called this region home and continue to do so.
Abundance explores the above using artefacts, photographs, archival records and (soon to come) play-based interactives relating to the subthemes of Forests, Agriculture, and Water.
Voices of Grey
The central exhibit in our Grey County Gallery shares the stories of Grey County through the words of past and present citizens.
Nels Maher Print Shop
Our Print Shop is named in the memory of a friend to Grey Roots, Nelson Maher. Nels worked for what added up to hundreds of hours - first to restore the equipment, then to set it up so that it could be viewed, and finally in giving tours, interviews and demonstrations.
50 Years of Summerfolk
Step into the celebration at 50 Years of Summerfolk, a vibrant exhibit recognizing half a century of music, community, and creativity. This exhibit traces the roots and evolution of the Summerfolk Music and Crafts Festival - from its humble beginnings in a muddy field to its current status as a cornerstone of Canadian folk culture. Discover the stories behind this beloved festival!
