Several museums in Waterloo region will be free to the public on July 30 as the annual free admission day returns.

The Region said: “this is a great opportunity to explore our living history village, museums and historic sites at no cost, including our resiliency and UN/COVERINGS exhibits.”

The free admission includes Doon Heritage Village, Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum, McDougall Cottage and Schneider Haus.

Last week McDougall Cottage opened a new exhibit promoting the stories of five individuals who share stories of strength and survival for those who find themselves struggling.
