We came to this place not expecting too much and were pleasantly surprised. An elderly gentleman came through the museum with us and became our personal tour guide which helped us to get so much more out of it. The displays are very well done - we especially enjoyed the trenches area. This is definitely a hidden gem in Brantford.

A small farmhouse in the middle of a housing development with wide open green space. Great children's programming during the summer and many lectures and historical demonstrations. Well worth a visit!

Personal Computer Museum

Reviewed By BrantfordMark - Brantford, Canada

I live in Brantford and just walked by the Museum site yesterday. No signage for it these days, but some construction seemed to be going on. I was fortunate to know Syd Bolton, the Personal Computer Museum's founder. Although I've seen many computer museums including California's Computer History Museum and Smithsonian's Science and Technology Museum, this one has items you won't see anywhere else. In particular, Syd had a passion for collecting computers and video game artifacts with Canadian connections. I am proud to have donated many items to the collection from my own career during the early days of personal computing. In March 2018, Syd even specially opened the museum for my family in celebration of a milestone birthday for me. Syd passed away in June 2018. From what I've been able to gather, talks have been underway for some time to have a local university, the city, or another museum to take over this collection. Wilfred Laurier University here in Brantford maintained a satellite museum that contained some of Syd's vintage desktop publishing artifacts. It might still be there and you might be able to see them. Call Laurier and see. Meanwhile, check Youtube for the many video posts Syd made about his collection. A real loss for those of us who still think it important to keep alive the story of the early days of personal computing. If the Museum reopens, go there. You won't be disappointed.
