From the website:
Imagine a wheel of cheese weighing 7300 pounds! The Ingersoll Cheese & Agricultural Museum shares this story from 1866 along with other intersting tales about the Town of Ingersoll.
First settled by Thomas Ingersoll, the father of Laura Secord, in 1795, the original village of Oxford-on-the-Thames continued to grow. Over the last 200 years, the Town of Ingersoll has been a destination for runaway slaves on the Underground Railway, and has been home to such notables as world-famous evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, the world champion husband and wife racing team of Harold and Lorna Wilson, and internationally renowned wood carver Wilson Jonhston.
The museum brings these stories and others to life through engaging displays and demonstrations. Group tours, educational programs, workshops, special events and hands-on activities are offered throughout the year.
