LIGONIER

The museum opened its doors on September 10, 1997. With the visionary planning of Tina and Tom Thoburn and a dedicated steering committee, a donation of historic local lumber was secured to create Ligonier’s log cabin façade. The perfect setting for a relaxing stroll.

Whether outside surrounded by our beautiful flower gardens, or inside amongst our rotating exhibitions of American art, the museum is your tranquil get-away from the busy rush of the city. The Museum offers a full schedule of programs and activities including a variety of educational activities for kids of all ages.

Enjoy enhanced accessibility with a new respite/quiet room supporting neurodivergent visitors with a welcoming, calming space to enjoy art. Becoming accustomed with the floor plan in advance of your visit will help you find your way around the museum. As a member of the Autism Travel Club, the museum is accessible to everybody!
