Museum Giftshop

The Giftshop also offers a selection of publications pertaining to Goulbourn's past. Some of these books are of particular interest to genealogists that trace their family back to the Goulbourn area. All of these books are suited to the "armchair historian", who has a general interest in Goulbourn and the development of Upper Canada.

While most of our giftshop items are only available at the Museum, or occasionally at our local heritage displays in the community, our publications can also be ordered online.

Giftshop prices are quoted in Canadian funds.
