Victoria School, 267 Edmund Street, Carleton Place, c. 1920.
     
The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum.
​Erected in 1872, our beautiful stone building served the community of Carleton Place as the Town Hall and lock up until 1879, and then as Victoria School for 90 years until 1969.

The museum is run by the Carleton Place and Beckwith Historical Society with assistance from the Town of Carleton Place and the Township of Beckwith.
Opening as the Victoria School Museum in 1985, the name was changed in 2011 to reflect the scope of our collection and our communities.

Our main floor exhibit gallery features permanent exhibits telling the story of settlement in the   area and chronicling the town's history.
