The Museum Goes Kite Flying!

Ready to reach new heights? On Sunday, July 12, the Cornwall Community Museum invites you to an unforgettable day of kite building, flying, and family fun—all part of our spectacular 70th Anniversary celebrations!

Join us from 11am to 2pm for a hands-on kite building adventure. We'll provide all the materials and instructions you need to craft your very own high-flying creation, or bring your favorite kite from home and see how it measures up against our homemade masterpieces!

Simply register when you arrive at the Museum on Sunday—it's that easy! Pack a picnic basket, gather the whole family, and make a day of it. Build your kites together, then watch them dance across the sky in the lower park area just west of the Museum. The hill beside the Museum offers the perfect vantage point for picnicking while you enjoy the colorful spectacle above.

It's going to be a beautiful day of creativity, community, and celebration. Don't miss out!

See you there—let's go fly a kite!

Last Saturday, June 27, the Museum hosted a group of talented artists from Focus Art for a special Plein Air day! They set up their easels on our lawns and captured the beauty of our historic building in their own unique styles—from vibrant oil paints to delicate pen & ink, to bold crayon strokes.
The results? Absolutely stunning! ✨

This Saturday, July 4, these artists will be showcasing their finished works INSIDE the Museum. Come see our beloved Wood House reimagined through the creative vision of our local art community.
It's a rare chance to view the Museum from fresh perspectives and celebrate the intersection of art and heritage. Many thanks to artist Pierre Giroux for leading this event. Huge thanks to the artists from Focus Art who brought our Museum to life in their art.
