Doon Heritage Crossroads
Kitchener (Ontario) Région touristique : Grand River Country
The 20th century begins in Waterloo County at Doon Heritage Crossroads.
Set against sixty beautiful acres of environmentally sensitive forest, marsh and farmland, Doon Heritage Crossroads in Kitchener is a re-creation of a rural village and two farms, where costumed interpreters welcome visitors to the year 1914. Over twenty-five historic buildings, period furnishings, rare breed farm animals, heritage gardens, and demonstrations of daily chores help visitors discover an exciting era of change in Canadian history.
Teachers will discover unique hands-on learning opportunities, for all grade levels, in our curriculum-based educational programs tied to the Ontario Ministry of Education Curriculum.
Home to the award-winning Waterloo Regional Curatorial Centre, one of Canada’s best museum storage and preservation facilities. The Curatorial Centre is open for tours by appointment.
Also home to the Waterloo County Hall of Fame.
Complimentary guidebooks are available in English, German, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Braille, and large-print. Ask for a copy of our "Guide to Access for Visitors with Disabilities", outlining services for visitors with special needs.
Throughout our May to December season, we play host to a number of special events which offer fun-filled opportunities for family entertainment. Whether it's vintage fire trucks on display, fall fair exhibits of prize winning baking and preserves, or the joy of singing carols during the Christmas season, you'll find something for everyone at Doon Heritage Crossroads.

Renseignements sur les collections
When the Waterloo Historical Society was founded in 1912, then president W.H. Breithaupt and Secretary H. W. Brown stated that "it is the ambition of the Society to acquire at an early date, a substantial fireproof county building in which to preserve permanently all such records and general objects of historic interest". Since 1912, the collection of artifacts (many having been collected by the Waterloo Historical Society) and buildings, which has come to be known as Doon Heritage Crossroads, has grown into one of the largest community museum collections in Ontario.
Doon Heritage Crossroads has two missions. The mission which is most obvious to the community is the interpretation of a re-created 1914 village and two farms which celebrate the rural history of the Region of Waterloo. But Doon Heritage Crossroads also collects and preserves artifacts which relate to all time periods, municipalities, and cultures of the Region's history, hence the large size and scope of the existing regional history collection. This larger collection can now be managed and preserved for future exhibition.

Archives
Doon Heritage Crossroads' library and archives is open to the public during regular business hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. To ensure access to the library, it is always best to call ahead.
Doon Heritage Crossroads maintains a library of books, journals and magazines which focus on the history of the Region of Waterloo, life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and antiques and collectibles of all sorts.
The Doon Heritage Crossroads' archival collections include personal and organizational fonds, correspondence, memoranda, notebooks and diaries, maps and plans, photographs and other visual and audio-visual media, paintings and documentary art, and a wide range of ephemeral or fugitive materials. Books or other published works are considered archival if acquired as part of an archival collection (fonds).
Individual books and other published works of historical value are part of the collecting mandate of Doon Heritage Crossroads and are housed with the archival collection. Contemporary trade publications that are not considered to be rare are in the public reference library. These publications include books, periodicals, pamphlets, videotapes and others.
As well, the archives room at the Waterloo Regional Curatorial Centre is the repository for the permanently retained organizational records of Doon Heritage Crossroads and its predecessor organizations, consistent with Records Retention Schedules developed with Corporate Records/Archives, Corporate Resources Department of the Region of Waterloo. These include the following:
records documenting ownership of the collection; records documenting the history of objects in the collection
records pertaining to programs and activities in the living history site; records relating to building histories and building restorations.
