Welcome To the Millbrook and Cavan Historical Society

The Millbrook and Cavan Historical Society is committed to preserving the stories and the artifacts, manuscripts and photographs that illustrate the history of Millbrook, Cavan and the surrounding area in south central Ontario (Canada) for present and future generations. It also seeks to inspire interest in the value of local history by keeping the stories alive.

The village of Millbrook is remarkable for its well-preserved heritage homes and properties, and has an interesting history.

Plan a day out in Millbrook and enjoy a self-guided walking tour that will feature some of the architectural gems in the village and outline some of the area’s rich history.

You can view the properties in the guide book in any order you want, or you can start at the first house in the booklet, 3 Bank Street North (known as The Ontario Cottage). The Self-Guided Walking Tour booklet, found below, guides you through town and features over 25 properties.

Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended, and walkers are cautioned that there are some hills to climb.  Free for members, by free-will donation for non-members.

Our collections contain historical images, documents, oral histories, and historic properties located in Cavan Monaghan County.
