Project Update: October 2024

Entering the Home Stretch


The construction of the new Golden Plough Lodge & Northumberland County Archives and Museum (GPL & NCAM) has reached a significant milestone. The project is now 75 per cent complete and firmly moving into the final phase of construction. 


We are entering an exciting phase of the project as finishing contractors prepare to begin work onsite. Northumberland County and its construction partners are committed to deliver a facility that residents, staff, and the community will be proud of. Nation-wide challenges in the construction sector stemming from the global pandemic have impacted original projections. To ensure the successful delivery of this vital community project the revised occupancy for staff is set for June 2025, at which time furnishing, set-up, and touch-ups will take place. Residents are expected to move into the new facility in the fall of 2025.


The County is fully focused on the final outcome: a facility that meets the evolving needs of long-term care residents, responds to increasing local demand for long-term care spaces, and – through new museum and archival amenities – supports the preservation and promotion of Northumberland’s cultural heritage.
