Canadian Historical Aircraft Association

The Canadian Historical Aircraft Association is located in the main hangar of the old No. 7 Elementary Flying Training School at the southwest corner of Windsor International Airport. We feature Avro Lancaster and de Havilland Mosquito restoration projects, 2 flying DHC-1 Chipmunks, a Boeing Stearman and North American Harvard as well as static displays of a Fleet Fawn and CT-133 Silver Star. Visit our museum archive room and gift shop.

We had a wonderful visit to create a very inexpensive couple of hours of fun. My son (8) and I (29) went to visit the Museum and were treated to a personal guided tour with experienced staff. In my opinion the place looks a lot like a mechanics hanger as well as a historic museum and functions to teach both theory of flight, mechanics of flight, and history of military in the area. Great for tourist and Windsorites alike.

Amherstburg Freedom Museum

Reviewed By markbQ4119SP - Canada, null

Our day started with our journey to the Windsor area from the Brant Area which took about 2.5 hrs west on 401 west. The drive this way is a little boring and we were glad to finally arrive in Amherstburg which seems to be a quaint little town that sits on the mouth of the Detroit river where it opens up to lake Ontario! We arrived and parked our car in the designated parking spot and went in. We payed $18 for two adults and two kids..Our kids were free due to being both under 6. We chose the guided tour which was great and informative and vistited to church first which was great. It was a special moment for my wife and the stories and history that was presented to us was impactful to say the least. After that, we went to the common house which depicted a home that the slaves and decendents lived in till the the 1980's. After this we went to see the art upstairs which we also loved. The guide offered to put the video on for us upstairs but we declined. lots to read, interesting place, amazing stories and great part of canadian history that doesnt get talked about enough. a great little museum. Worth our drive!

Museum Windsor

The newly rebranded Museum Windsor (previously Windsor's Community Museum) consists of the Francois Baby House at 254 Pitt St. W. and the Chimczuk Museum at 401 Riverside Drive W. Both present exhibitions on the history of Windsor, Ontario and area. While the Francois Baby House exhibitions highlight the French origins of this area, and the War of 1812 and the Battle of Windsor, the Chimczuk Museum features exhibitions detailing the whole history of Windsor and area from early geologic time through the present. The Chimczuk Museum site also features separate exhibitions on Indigenous peoples, a Hands-on-History room for children and temporary exhibitions.
