The Huron County Museum & Historic Gaol invites you to join the Canada Historic Places Days Selfie Contest for your chance to win $1,000 for yourself as well as $1,000 for the Museum and Gaol. The contest runs July 3-31, 2021.
Go behind bars at the Huron Historic Gaol’s Selfie Station
Canada Historic Places Days are a national celebration of our country’s historic places hosted each year by the National Trust of Canada. While historic sites, including the Museum and Gaol, remain temporarily closed, you can still celebrate and support these sites by getting creative with your digital selfie. Simply visit historicplacesdays.ca/places, find the Museum or Gaol, and upload your selfie which will be placed on virtual backgrounds from each of the sites. You can also have fun recreating a historic photo from the Museum’s collection, or share a throwback from one of your pre-pandemic visits to our sites! Of course, you can also visit the Huron Historic Gaol to take a selfie at our new selfie station – it is found outside the Gloucester Terrace entrance and is open all the time! To find inspiration for your selfies from the Museum’s virtual collection and historic photos, visit https://www.huroncountymuseum.ca/virtual-services/ or visit Selfie Contest – Historic Places Days .
