Trinity Museum

The Trinity Museum is located on Church Road, just beyond St. Paul's Anglican Church. The house has four rooms on the first floor and three on the second. Artifacts are also displayed in the hallway on each floor.

Adjacent to the main building is a Fire Engine Shed, for the display of the 1811 Fire Pump used by the Garland Firm for the protection of their properties and of the settlement.

The Museum dates from 1967 when the house was purchased. It is a seasonal operation and open to the public from mid-June to mid-October, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. It is also open by appointment at other times throughout the year.
