For anyone who loves things historical, this is a great place to go. We were here for the Confederation Revue and it was very enjoyable.

Jason Clements

Great place to learn some of the history of Niagara-on-the-Lake and the War in 1812

William Sandham

Great establishment with some spectacular artifacts on show. Costs a fraction of the price of some big city museums and there are no crowds to contend with. One can reflect on the collection without distraction. Highly recommended for the local history buff to the curious tourist. Keep up the great work.

I am a bit of a history junkie...so this museum collection was great. The background on the indigenous peoples of Niagara Falls was outstanding.

Jessica Giraldo

Very small, adventurous, and intriguing place. Fun for the family, and for small history checks

The 3rd Sunday of every month is free:). So much history! Two floors of items of historical significance. They have a tablet that you can get that'll explain in more detail the artifacts you see on display (if you leave some picture id). They have walking tours too, although not when we were there but @$10 the price was very reasonable. Nice attendant, very knowledgable. Outside they had some lifesize historical figures with the faces cut out so that you could put your own face and take pictures. All in the beautiful area Niagara by the Lake.

After moving to Niagara falls, we try to know as much as we can about this region. The Historic museum is the right place for this purpose. There is a lot of interesting artefacts, furniture, photos, portraits, clothing etc. Me and my husband enjoyed it very much.

This is a really well laid out small museum. Good history of the area, and easy to walk through. You'll get some repeat history between this and the Fort George National Historic Site, but I think they complement each other rather than making each other redundant.

John MacBeth

Decent quality artifacts, smartly presented.

Wilson Tse

Kaushik Chakravorty

Small museum , two floors. No tickets for kids below 12 yrs. Should not take more than 30 - 45 mins to cover . Adequate sanitisers on location and mandatory to wear masks inside and maintain social distancing which is not a problem since there were hardly any people inside when we visited and since it was a week day. Well curated , catalogued and documented . Trivia about some famous residents of Niagra was interesting. Time well spent .

Faith Bell

Always enjoy the local exhibits. Great museum!

Nancy Erb

The Remembrance Day display at the museum is so breathtaking...I recommend anyone who can take a drive and go to the museum.

I have visited Niagara-on-the-Lake many times, saw the sign for the museum, but drove right by. This time I decided to follow the sign and discovered this lovely museum located in an old house with beautiful gardens. Outside there is a rose Bush called "1812" as well as a terrace with historical cutouts. Inside there is a lovely small gift store as well as historical exhibits of clothes, items and a dress up section for kids. Now they are highlighting when the Polish trained in NOTL around the 1st world war. Highlight for me was to see the hat that Sir Issac Brock wore.

Harry Poorman

Very interesting museum. It was amazing to see the exhibits and read up on the history of the region.
