The Minden Hills Cultural Centre is a four acre site in the village of Minden that includes the Agnes Jamieson Gallery, the Minden Hills Museum & Heritage Village, Nature's Place, and the Minden Hills Branch of the Haliburton County Public Library.
The MHCC is connected to a Boardwalk which traverses over natural wetlands. The Boardwalk connects to Stepping into Nature, a free, self-guided walking tour along the Gull River.
The Haliburton County Master Gardeners researched and prepared the walking tour which highlights the flora and fauna along the river trail. This multi-media walking tour includes photos, detailed descriptions of plants, insect information, gardening tips, and audio stories, all accessible via the PocketSights app.

How does a little town such as Minden, Ontario, become associated with a renowned Russian-born, Canadian artist?
It could be said it took an unfortunate car accident - or a kind-hearted man, who had some understanding of Canadian art. Whatever the case, join us on The Lapine Lap; a glimpse into the life and times of André Lapine, which spans continents, the heights of Toronto's art society, and quiet back roads. It is full of life and friendly characters every step of the way.

The Minden Hills Cultural Centre (red) logo represents the unity of the areas of the centre; Minden Hills Museum & Heritage Village (yellow), Haliburton County Library Minden Branch (brown), Agnes Jamieson Gallery (blue) and Nature's Place (green).
The red maple leaf symbolizes the national significance of the Centre's collections and the fall beauty of local trees.
The leaf and triangles are a bridge over the blue line which represents the Gull River.
The colours are based on those used in the Haliburton tartan.
The green represents the forest, blue is for lakes; white for snow and the trillium; red and gold for fall colours; brown for the earth and fur-bearing animals.
