Food scene
Both a Brewery and a Brew Pub with a great patio, Bancroft Brewing Co has become a staple in the brewing industry. Proud of the community's heritage, the team at the brewery names their beers in relation and dedication to the heritage from which their community was built. They also take great pride in the fact that the water source which they use to craft their brews is spring fed through the Canadian Shield which acts as a natural filter and offers up water that is naturally enriched in minerals creating a unique flavour for beer making in the area. It would be impossible to create this mineral content artificially which means that Bancroft Brewing Co makes truly unique beers.

The Highlands are home to a wealth of history and plenty of great museums. If you’re looking for things to do in Haliburton when it rains, or any time for that matter, head to the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Found in 1967, the museum was set in the old Reid House that dates to 1882. After it grew too big for the old home it found a new location in Glebe Park.
A new museum was built within the park and houses a diverse range of pieces and exhibits connected to the Aboriginal peoples who called this land home as well as the first settlers and the lumbermen. Across two floors you’ll find some of the almost 20,000 artifacts that the museum houses.
The Reid House was also moved to Glebe Park and now showcases what a period home would look like in the late 19th century. You’ll also find a log barn, a small building housing a forge, and an 1870’s farmstead located on the property.
