Paris Museum and Historical Society is a charitable organization based in Paris, Ontario, classified by the CRA under public amenities.

In its own words
The museum preseves houses and maintains an extensive collection relevant to the paris and surrounding area. In addition to the museum we also house an archive and are a historical society. And we do community outreach. In 2024 our volunteers logged almost 5 000 hours assisting with research in the archives collections events walking tours a speaker series and other projects. Volunteers also continue to work remotely on projects as well as on site.
