Cottonwood Mansion Museum

For couples who love old houses, hidden history and places that feel as though they belong in another century, Cottonwood Mansion offers something genuinely different.

Tucked into the countryside near Selkirk, the historic mansion has 15 rooms spread across more than 6,000 square feet, with Italianate and Georgian architecture giving the property its unmistakable character.

Rather than walking into a purpose-built wedding hall, you are celebrating somewhere that already has a story. The mansion and its grounds create a romantic backdrop for an intimate wedding, with heritage details, mature surroundings and plenty of beautiful corners for photographs.

Private rentals include access to the estate’s grounds along with practical pieces such as tables, chairs and kitchen equipment, giving couples a historic canvas they can make their own.

It is especially lovely for a wedding that is meant to feel intimate and personal rather than polished into a traditional ballroom experience.

Quiet, historic and full of character, Cottonwood Mansion is a beautiful choice for couples who would happily trade chandeliers and banquet carpeting for old architecture, countryside and a little piece of Ontario history.
