Outdoor historical walking tours will be available at the Anderson Farm Museum from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays through Saturday, July 10 to August 30, with no advance booking required. These walking tours are free of charge.

Is it possible to book the Anderson Farm Museum for a wedding/birthday party/baby shower/etc.?
The Anderson Farm Museum grounds are available to our not-for-profit community partners for some large events. Capital repairs being undertaken in 2024 will prevent use of the Stable interior for part of the summer. Washrooms will be available at large events throughout the summer.
Not-for-profit groups and community partners should contact Museum staff to discuss site availability for large events in 2024.
Is there a cost for taking photographs on the Anderson Farm Museum grounds? Are there any rules to follow?
There is no cost for taking photographs on the grounds of the Anderson Farm Museum. However, there are some rules that need to be followed:
- Please do not climb on any part of any historical buildings, equipment, or other structures on site.
- Please do not sit or lean on the porch railing of the Creighton Log Cabin. The building is over 100 years old and was moved to the Museum from the ghost town of Creighton Mine, so there’s no replacement for it, and we would like to preserve it for as long as possible.
- Please tag us when posting to social media @Greater Sudbury Museums and @Anderson Farm Museum, Lively on Facebook, and @greatersudburymuseums on Instagram. Feel free to use #GreaterSudburyMuseums or #AndersonFarmMuseum as well.
- The site is covered by the Parks By-Law, so the rules set out in that by-law must be followed as well, which include: no smoking or alcohol is permitted on site, no vehicles are allowed on site except for on the main paths, no ATVs or snow machines allowed, please clean up after your pets, and the grounds are open from 6 a.m. to11p.m. If you’re not sure whether or not something is allowed, please contact 311 or review the Parks By-law.
