A country home turned art museum, Riverbrink has well-curated exhibits of fine and decorative works of art, with a focus on Canadian historical pieces. The collection and building itself once belonged to Sam Weir, a lawyer from London, who was an avid art collector. Check the museum for lectures, art workshops and other events.
