A week ago, we went to the Historic Brubacher House. There was a silo and a barn. The house looked beautiful. It looked like it was built a few years ago. This house was built in 1850. This family raised 14 children. Wow! However, the house was getting worse. The University of Waterloo bought the property. They decided to burn it down and then they restored this home. No wonder that it is so beautiful now! I enjoyed my visit here. Worthwhile to see!

Well curated range of geological samples that includes prehistoric creatures. Love the entrance way through a model mining tunnel that leads into the samples of minerals, gems stones and fossils.
6. Waterloo Railway Museum
The exhibition traces the development of the Waterloo rail network and its builder, Mr. Asa Belknap Foster, that we nicknamed "King of the Road to Canadian iron", will tell his story as well as the history of Waterloo through various explanatory and with an illustrated comic book style section to compliment the child visitation panels.
