Stanhope heritage museum

Reviewed By Curiosity29127463223 - Toronto, Canada

We stooped by one weekend and were truly amazed with a local volunteer guide who knew everything about the history of the area and whose family was living here for generations. Very interesting visit and priceless artifacts. Highly recommended.

Dorset Heritage Museum

Reviewed By X6676TBbrianm - Guelph, Canada

We were disappointed that the Museum was not open at all in winter according to online information. We jumped at the chance to visit when we were told that it was indeed opening during the Dorset Snowball on February 15 2020. There are so many stories and artifacts in such a small place and the volunteer was helpful and enthusiastic. We had a wonderful little visit.

Perth Museum

Leave the 21st century behind as you enter the world of the 1840s at the elegant Matheson House, home of the award-winning Perth Museum. This popular tourist attraction, located downtown at 11 Gore Street East, is a National Historic Site.

Have taken the tour through the museum twice now and have a learnt a lot about the Perth area and the past. Next summer I hope to take the walking tour of the town that they offer on Wednesday and Saturday.

Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum

The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum is located in a heritage designated stone building. Built in 1872 as the Town Hall, it was converted to Victoria School in 1879. It served as a public school until 1969. Murals on the building tell its story as a municipal building and include prisoners in the jail cell and students from the past! Visit us to learn about the Township of Beckwith, first surveyed in 1816, and the community of Carleton Place founded in 1819 on the banks of the Mississippi River.Learn about our lumber industry, textile mills and strong military connections. Did you know Carleton Place is the home of Roy Brown, credited with shooting down the Red Baron in 1918? While on site, be sure to visit the Victoria School garden and "Walk the Path" at the Community Labyrinth, located behind the Museum.

This was my first time partaking in the cemetery walking tour with the museum and I was so impressed! The curator, Jennifer speaks very well and has put together a collection of interesting, sometimes heart wrenching stories of locals who have passed. Our group attended the evening session, which added an element of spook for those who want to enjoy the Halloween season. Jennifer added some special touches to the tour - candy from one of the stories, had a volunteer do a dowsing interaction which participants were encouraged to try, and a historical performance from a fantastic volunteer. The night ended with cider and treats. It was a well planned out evening which left participants planning to come back with friends next year.

Heritage House Museum

Reviewed By Beaubaygirl - Winnipeg, Canada

Staff members Aidan and Siena were especially welcoming and helpful to us even though we arrived when they were busy with a children's program. My husband enjoyed the museum and I spent a fruitful couple of hours in the genealogy library. Well worth a stop.
