Bringing New Life to a Historic Space
The Walker House Museum is embarking on an exciting new chapter — the revitalization of its historic tavern. This project will breathe new life into one of Kincardine’s most cherished heritage spaces, transforming it into a warm, inviting venue for today’s community.
By re-establishing the tavern, the museum will create a functional and accessible gathering place for local events, cultural programs, and social connection. This renewed space will continue the Walker House’s long tradition as a historic tavern and hotel and as a hub for community life, where history and hospitality meet.
Celebrating Local Heritage and Craftsmanship
The re-established Walker House Tavern will celebrate the rich traditions of hospitality that have shaped Bruce County for generations. Visitors can enjoy a curated selection of locally made beverages from regional breweries and wineries — each one a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of our community.
By partnering with local producers and small businesses, the Walker House Tavern will not only honor its historic roots but also support the contemporary culture and economy of Kincardine and surrounding areas.
A Place for Everyone
The Walker House Tavern will welcome a broad range of guests — from the museum’s loyal supporters to working adults, families, newcomers, and visitors exploring Kincardine.
Designed as a community-oriented venue, the tavern will offer an inviting space to gather after hours, enjoy local products, and take part in cultural programming. Whether you’re meeting friends, attending an event, or simply soaking in the historic atmosphere, the Walker House Tavern will be a place to connect, relax, and belong.
Building a Sustainable Future
The tavern project will help make the Walker House a year-round destination, extending its reach well beyond the summer season.
Proceeds from tavern operations will directly support the museum’s heritage preservation, educational programs, and community events — ensuring the Walker House remains a vibrant, self-sustaining cultural hub for generations to come.
