If you would like to obtain copies of the Claybelt Chronicles 
volumes, they are also available year-round at Chat Noir, 57 Whitewood Avenue, New Liskeard, and are available through the Museum Gift Shop when we are open in the summer, and other times by appointment.
To continue, we need your support. Memberships are only one way you can show your support. Donations are another way. Support for our fund raisers, purchases from our Gift Shop, even sponsoring special exhibits, go a long way to help. Volunteers are needed in a number of areas.
Most of all, we'd like you to visit us at the Museum. See for yourself what is happening. Admission is free, and the history is yours. Make this the year you come to see it all for yourself.
Founded in 1974, and moved to its present location in 2000, the Little Claybelt Homesteaders Museum offers unique insights into the history of the region. Exhibits are changed periodically to reflect what we know of pioneer life in the area from the 1880s through the 1950s.
Open primarily in the summer, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm admission is free as the museum operates on donations at the door, sales from the Gift Shop, and through community efforts. As a tourist visiting, the insights add a lot to your visit in the area. As a resident, it is reassuring to know that our ancestor's efforts are being recorded, preserved and made available for research.
Support our museum by visiting, volunteering, or sponsoring. Email here to volunteer, or discuss a project you might like to pursue. To become a member, go here to get the membership form ($15.00 per person/ $25 per family). To assist with a donation of artifacts, contact us at the museum. To get a charitable receipt for your cash donation, either visit us and get one in person, or mail them to us at Box 1718. New Liskeard, ON P0J 1P0 with your name and address so we can mail the receipt back to you.
The exhibits at the Little Claybelt Homesteaders Museum reflect all aspects of life as pioneers, including commerce in the area. From farm implements to household items, toys, telephones, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Tours are available and may be booked in advance during our open season in the summer months.

We hope to see you, or hear from you soon.
