Open NowSudbury's Changing Landscape Part 2
The new exhibit 'Sudbury‘s Changing Landscape Part 2' continues our exploration of Sudbury's landscape with the story from after the Revolutionary War up to the present day. Sudbury is home to many wonderful conservation lands and historic landscapes. Organizations like Sudbury Valley Trustees, Sudbury Conservation Commission, and Sustainable Sudbury are working hard to protect and preserve the natural countryside.

The exhibit 'Sudbury‘s Changing Landscape Part 1' will enthrall the visitor with stunning interactive displays, and beautiful graphic displays that exemplify how Sudbury has come to be the beautiful town that it is today. From ice covered landscapes, indigenous tribal lifeways, to new farming settlements, this first phase of our two part exhibit, Sudbury’s Changing Landscape Glaciers-1780 paints a picture of an ever changing environment.
