What is Doors Open?


Doors Open is a celebration of community heritage. This event is open to all and admission is always FREE. Since 2002, Doors Open events have attracted people from all across Ontario. Residents and visitors are invited to discover Ontario’s hidden heritage treasures, some of which have never been open to the public.

In order to participate in Doors Open, a site is required to have historic, architectural or cultural significance. Sites can include: commercial buildings, places of worship, cemeteries, inns, schools, factories, theatres, boats, museums, fire halls, railway stations, lookouts, industrial sites, private homes, and the list goes on.

Doors Open Whitchurch-Stouffville


Whitchurch – Stouffville has participated in Doors Open since 2004 and has held 6 events during that 7 year period. The Doors Open Organizing Committee has selected twelve heritage sites from across our Town that demonstrate how our built and natural environments have evolved over time. Come out to see a variety of sites – some of which are brand new to Doors Open WS and some returning favourites.

Doors Open Whitchurch-Stouffville is co-ordinated by the Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum with the help of numerous volunteers.
