"Return of the Swans" at Lambton Heritage Museum

Grand Bend, ON - Lambton Heritage Museum will once again be celebrating the annual tundra swans migration.

The museum's Return of the Swans exhibition will be on display February 28 to April 12.

In addition, Lambton Heritage Museum will be offering tundra swan-related March Break programming 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, March 11 -15. Programming will include Makerspace equipment from Lambton County Library and will offer school aged children the opportunity to try their hand at a button maker or at programming an ozobot - a pocket-sized robot!

Be sure to visit the website www.returnoftheswans.com for migration updates and whether there are swans in the area on specific dates. Although mid-March is typically an active time for swans, the museum cannot guarantee swans will be on site each day during the March Break.

The Return of the Swans exhibit as well as the museum's permanent exhibits can be viewed Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. or Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Museum admission is $5.00 for adults, $4.00 for seniors and students, and $3.00 for children. For more information, call the museum at 519-243-2600 or email heritage.museum@county-lambton.on.ca.
