Best Local history museum in Canada

A	Ayesha Adamjee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great little museum in Thomson Park. It's made up of a few reconstructed houses built in the 19th and 20th centuries and provide some really interesting insights into what life was like for early settlers and immigrants. I particularly enjoyed how the museum highlights various perspectives from the time period, including those from Black, Indigenous and other racialized groups which often go ignored in historical spaces. Outside of COVID times, they also bake and cook various items on site and have more interactive experiences. Highly recommend for all age groups!

J	Julian Carvajal on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very interesting place. Come with your friends and family and bake in their fire place! You can also use their Historic Stove from the early 1900's. Hidden gem in this part of the city plenty of green spaces as well.
U	Uzzi Usman on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing amazing place! It’s open everyday for public visits. Go with some cash! It’s pay what you can. It’s very rustic and historic, with many things to learn. Our tour guide Jeff is an amazingly knowledgeable guide. He seems very passionate about what he does and it was very entertaining to learn about the different buildings and their functions. Take your kids as well, very insightful for them. They serve complimentary iced tea, cheese cake, baked goods, etc. On a first come first serve basis. They have many events on a daily basis, so take advantage and show your family another side of what the urban life has to offer. Would highly recommend!
P	Phyllis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A lovely small museum consists of few houses that showcase the life in 1800s. The staff that working there are very welcoming and provide us a knowledgeable guide tour. Outside the museum has playground and walking trail, great to spend an relaxing afternoon.
F	Flora Li on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The museum consists of a few houses but the nicest thing is the park/trails attached to it. Kids playground (hard sand, mind you), nice trails and lots of big trees for shade. Water park area and leash free dog area too. Staff are indeed super friendly and helpful. No cafe so bring your own food/picnic lunches. Decent washroom facilities but not the cleanest.
