The wood fair is a joint venture between the Glengarry Pioneer Museum and the Stormont Dundas and Glengarry Certified Forest Owners Inc. and Boisés Est. Wood has been a huge ingredient in the lives of Pioneers and the shaping of this country. The Glengarry Wood Fair and Wood Auction will showcase all aspects of forestry and the crafting of wood products then and now.

Travel back in time and view the Glengarry Pioneer Museum's collection of antique wood handling and crafting tools.
