Welcome to Grey Highlands South Grey Museum Web Site

Established in 1973, South Grey Museum is a small community museum located in the picturesque village of Flesherton at the head of the Beaver Valley, Grey County, Ontario, Canada. Our collections reflect the history of the old townships of Artemesia, Euphrasia, and Eugenia. You'll find us in Memorial Park 40 Sydenham Street -- on the west side of Highway 10 a short walk north of Flesherton's one traffic light. The museum has parking, washrooms in the park, a picnic table in the garden pavilion.of our Heritage Herb Garden . Our exhibits constantly change and we welcome visitors doing family research. Grey Highlands' South Grey Museum is financed through the fundraising efforts of our museum board, admission receipts, memberships, public and business donations, community and government grants and the support of the Municipality of Grey Highlands.
