The Museum of Lennox and Addington provides insight into everyday life from the late 18th century through to current time. Housed in the old Napanee jail built in 1864, the Museum is adjacent to the county's stately limestone Court House and houses a research library and an extensive archival holding. The Museum welcomes over 10,000 visitors a year and hosts an active rotation of programs and exhibits focused on sharing the stories of Lennox and Addington County.

In 2014 the County of Lennox and Addington celebrated its 150th anniversary. County Council planned for this milestone and believed that a significant means of celebrating its history and ensuring its preservation for the future, was the construction of a renovated and expanded Museum & Archives. This included the construction of a new archival reading room and vault, and multipurpose room for programs and travelling exhibits.
