The County Museums recently accepted the 2024 Ontario Museum Association Award of Excellence in Special Projects for the exhibit A Path Forward. In partnership with Tsi Tyónnheht Onkwawėn:na Language and Cultural Centre and the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund, the exhibit explores truth and reconciliation in Prince Edward County. It focuses on the shared past , present and future of indigenous and non-indigenous people in the area while promoting education about truth and reconciliation.
A Path Forward is housed in the Macauley Church Museum in Picton and is part of the Macauley Heritage Park that features many historic points of interest. The interactive exhibit highlights contemporary works of art by more than 20 indigenous artists yet mixes with historical facts encouraging visitors to learn and reflect guiding the path forward. There are plans for expansion of the exhibit and a digital platform will be coming in 2025.
