Discover Lennox And Addington County

Destinations in Lennox And Addington County offer a variety of experiences: the museum and archives in downtown Napanee, Macpherson House & Park on the Napanee River, Babcock Mill in Odessa, a dark-sky viewing area, and technical mountain biking trails. Would you like to explore cultural history, focus on dark night skies, or plan a mountain biking activity? These destinations offer different themes; the museum and archives also have specific opening hours to consider.

Museum and archives opening hours

The Museum of Lennox and Addington is in downtown Napanee and is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The archives are open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and close daily from noon to 1 p.m. The museum and archives are closed on Saturdays that fall on holiday weekends. Hours therefore vary by day of the week, and the archives also close for lunch each day. If you plan to visit the museum and archives, take both schedules into account and check the opening hours before your visit, as they may change.

House and mill: two historical perspectives

Macpherson House & Park is a historic house on the Napanee River. Visitors can experience authentic 19th-century life there. Visitors can also explore Babcock Mill in Odessa: the historic planing mill and basket factory, dating from 1856, is located on Millhaven Creek. The two places offer different ways to engage with history. At Macpherson House & Park, the focus is on experiencing 19th-century life, while Babcock Mill is defined by its two historic functions as a planing mill and basket factory. If you would like to include places like these in your trip, you can choose based on the aspect of history that interests you most.

Dark night skies near Erinsville

The Lennox & Addington Dark Sky Viewing Area is Ontario’s southernmost dark-sky site. It is located 37 kilometres north of Napanee, near Erinsville. This gives you two specific location details for planning your trip: its direction and distance from Napanee, and its proximity to Erinsville. The viewing area offers a different focus from the historic sites. If you are particularly interested in dark night skies, you can take this into account when choosing your destinations.

Mountain biking on the L&A Forest Trails

The L&A Forest Trails include 10 kilometres of technical mountain biking trails with banked turns, designed for off-road riders. Their length, trail characteristics, and target audience together give a clear picture of what they offer. The banked turns are a named trail feature; the technical focus distinguishes the trails from the Dark Sky Viewing Area. If mountain biking is a reason for your trip, you can use these features to decide whether the trails suit your interests.
