Brubacher House
Frank Tompa Dr. N2L 3G1 Waterloo, ON, Canada

Unfortunately the Brubacher House Museum will not be able to open on May 1st this year. We are temporarily closed until further notice due to COVID-19. Follow this page for updates, as well as fun photos and videos this spring!

We've been working on some new signage for the museum, which better reflects Mennonite and Indigenous histories here on the Haldimand Tract. You can learn more by joining us online tomorrow at 7:00 PM for our talk at the Mennonite Historical Society of Ontario's Fall Meeting: "Signs of Change: Telling the Brubacher House Story at 40 Years."
