In the main Grey County Gallery, explore Voices of Grey, which shares the stories of Grey County’s past, present, and future through the words of its citizens. Voices of Grey is the first in a series of planned updates to the main gallery at Grey Roots and features a variety of local artefacts and moving personal stories.

“In working together to make this exhibit happen, Grey Roots staff has pulled us forward 16 years,” says Sim Salata, Collections Manager. “This exhibit offers a deep look at where we came from and who now calls Grey County home.”

In the community gallery, check out the hands-on exhibit More Power to You: Simple Machines in Everyday Life. This exhibit, created with the support of fifteen community partners, explores the ways simple machines use the science of physics to make our lives easier. Visitors can use the logic of levers to make a see-saw balance and visit the Construction Centre to build their own simple machine using pulleys, wedges, screws, and more.

Voices of Grey and More Power to You: Simple Machines in Everyday Life will open to the public on Saturday, March 14. Regular admission rates apply. Free for Grey Roots members.
