Selected operating food-hall and market counters.
Stops, in order
Your founders’ food hall and market plan
Local tip
A food hall differs from the former museum use. The operator presents Founders as a food hall and market with independent vendors. Our suggestion: choose it for current food and shopping rather than expecting the former Confederation museum.

Local tip
The grounds and interior have different access. The museum operator permits grounds visits separately but requires a guided tour for the interior. Our suggestion: confirm a house-tour place rather than treating the rooms as a walk-in gallery.
