A visit to the Brockville Museum offers a glimpse into the social and industrial history of Ontario's first incorporated town. Through a variety of thematic and interpretive exhibits, the Brockville Museum shares the stories of the people who have shaped this waterfront community for over 200 years. The museum is housed (partially) in a mid-19th century home on the Downtown Brockville Waterfront, adjacent to the Brock Trail. It opened in 1981 and has since grown both as a fixture in the community, as a tourist attraction, and in the programs, exhibits, and museum services that it provides. When visiting the museum, you will be greeted by our volunteers, who are happy to share our community with you. While you tour the galleries you will have the chance to explore Brockville's history at your leisure. Exhibits focus on the themes: "Made in Brockville", "The People of Brockville", and "Brockville's River & Rail Story". Admission is by donation. Hope to see you soon!
