Anderson Farm Museum
The site of a century-old dairy farm at Lively, with a preserved farmhouse, barn and old farm tools that tell the story of Finnish immigrants and farming in mining country.
Anderson Farm is in Lively, southwest of Sudbury. In the early 20th century the Anderson family, Finnish immigrants, ran a dairy farm here that supplied milk to the surrounding mining communities. Today it is one of the Greater Sudbury Heritage Museums. It preserves the farmhouse, cowshed, barn and a display of farm implements that tell the story of Finnish immigrants and mining-town life. The grounds are open and often host community events such as farmers' markets and harvest festivals. It is small, so it is best visited on the way past.
