Naman K

Bad experience! We went 3 times to this place but was always closed..Felt bad

Sherry Johnson

Great little walk through history with a lovely gift shop. The gift shop features gifts and collectibles from the surrounding local exhibits and attractions. An added lovely surprise was the little used book shop where I purchased 3 paperbacks at $1.00 each???? I can't pass up the opportunity to peruse a local pre-loved collection!

Mr & Mrs Daniel Swartz

Very good information.

Piotr Cereniewicz

Don't go there! Absolutely it is not worth seeing!

Patty C

Small museums but with many informative artifacts. The recreation of the longhouse and Wendat tribal village was magnificent. Definitely worth the drive and visit!

Nahanni B

Alison Gothard-Huang

Nice variety of art and artifacts from local native people. The Wendat village outside is also quite interesting. Great gift shop!

Jemy Joseph

A neat little museum that has got an indoor and outdoor component. 2021 pricing $7 per adult. Takes you through the way of life of the local Indigenous population once here. Very friendly staff. Well maintained. It is got a cute gift shop as well. Next to the museum is a beautiful little lake that I highly also recommend stopping by if you are visiting this museum! A neat spot in Midland for sure!

Charlotte Moreau

Best place to go!

Gaelen Izatt-Galloway

Certainly a museum. Nice young man was very bored. People keep lighting it on fire. Tour was very honest.

michael white

Learned about the Wendat peoples from Will O'Hara's novel " Enemy Arrows " - the museum I hope to see. The pix of the longhouse look good and help one understand the story of the Wendat, the good the sad and the present.

N DB

Such an interesting place to visit!

Brad McCutcheon

Great experience to learn about early settlements and history.

Buzz Bray

Outstanding recreated village with guides who are knowledgeable. Museum is comprehensive with a broad selection of books to buy. If you have any interest in the real first Americans, don't miss this museum!

Gianne Willett

Amazing! You have to see it!

Cristi

Neat little museum. A nice art gallery with a small selection of Canadian art. Lots of information about wendat culture and interesting artifacts. There is a very large collection of Canadian antiques, from clothing to musical instruments, displayed in sort of a mishmash. Like a flea market, but nothing is for sale. Could use some organizing, editing and labeling to make it more accessible to visitors, but still very neat to look at all the stuff. Small gift shop. Wendat village outside was fine but not outstanding. The lighthouse lens on display was pretty spectacular!

Heart & Sol Farm

Great farmer's market on Sundays at this location.

iCon_xB2Gen Rich

Very nice. I've been to Midland a lot over the years but did not know that this existed so was pleasantly surprised to find it.

Richard Gore

Enjoyable walk through history

Kaushal Visani

Great place to visit and feel the past in present.

Hana Urbanová

(Translated) Very interesting place with a museum, where are displayed two Czech dolls in national costumes ... very unexpected. (Original) Velmi zajímavé místo s muzeem, kde jsou vystaveny i dvě české panenky v národních krojích...velmi nečekané.

Diana Dyhianto

Longhouse village is good. The museum and local art gallery inside was also good. The people I encountered were very friendly.

John McGuire

Great place; also go to the Martyrs' Shrine museum

E Appleton

Brendan Marchildon

Fun

Teardrop Falls

Wonderful people that are a pleasure to talk to in a building full of interesting and incredible pieces of history.

Drew Beatty

A charming museum with much to recommend it. We greatly enjoyed the craft show and sale, coming up from Toronto to explore it.

Cody Lloyd

My girlfriend and I took her nephew to the museum as a day trip. The place was full of cool local artifacts. The little village they have set up in the back was very well done as well. We'd definitely go back!

Naresh Chhibber

Loved the Longhouse village. Great staff.

Queen Christine Ann Stewart-Peterhoff

My mother brought my sisters and I here the same year that she took us to the Martyr Shrine. I think that she wanted us to know why the Martyr Shrine was built. This place frightened me as we walked through it because it was like being inside of a very primitive Indian Encampment. The dress, customs, rituals, religious beliefs, judicial system and medical care of ancient primitive Indians was taught, explained, and opened up for exploration. It can be very discomforting for a sensitive young Christian as I was, to learn and experience all of this. It is a very real example of how the other half lives. I praise and thank you so very much Lord Jesus for helping me to know the definite difference between us and giving me a heart to love them and the opportunity to share your love with them. I know that they have come a long way since then and so have I, but there is still a very long way to go. I pray that the Blood of Jesus Christ would continue to cover them in their nakedness and preserve them,save them if and when you can Lord. Continue please to pursue them with Your Love till they and I can all stand together before you Blameless, Holy, and in Peace and Love, Praising you Lord Jesus ETERNALLY. I Trust them and their Salvation up to you in Jesus Precious Name .Amen.

B Rowlandson

A great resource for our region's history!

Sebastian Kluth

Huronia Museum in Midland offers the beuatiful reconstruction of a First Nation village outside and rooms focusing on more recent anglophone and francophone cultures inside. The admission fee is reasonable. Staff is friendly and helpful. Make sure to visit this museum if you happen to be in or near Midland.

Laura Mason

A great ski hill.

R T

Must visit small Lake Park ,just around it.

gabrielle bourbonnais

Nice little community museum. Nice room with locally relevant art including Group of Seven pieces. Gift shop with history books. Quality artefacts. Some displays need a fresh update but all considered good quality exhibits. Looking forward to visiting the Wendat exhibit outside this summer, and looking through their archives. Consider volunteering! Hosts the local farmers' market during the colder season.

Kathy Yanuziello

They host the farmers market in the winter. They have great local historical books and items for purchase like moccasins. The museum is small but my 12 year old still likes looking at all the old stuff

Joerg

(Translated) Great place, very nicely done (Original) Super Ort, sehr schön gemacht

Good

Tim Campbell

The Longhouse village is very very good. The information and variety of structures was great. Unfortunately it also looks a little warn out as time has not been kind to some of the displays. The museum and local art gallery inside was also good. The people I encountered were very friendly and knowledgeable.

Őri Andrea

Very interesting ,very good!

Cathy O'Connor

Shelby “Born_4_this” Lyte

This place has an amazing atmosphere.

Shannon Hitchman

Very friendly staff!

John Day

If you are a historian this is the place to go visit. Saint Marie of the hurons.

Brad Taylor

Little jem . Unlocking local history

Mary Brereton

I am a decedent of the Hurons. I visited the Huronia Museum in 2006 and learned so much of our history from the curator of the museum. I walked around the ossuary because only Hurons are allowed. It was fascinating and wonderful. The replica village was superb. I am trying to learn more of our history and traced my great great grandparents to be full blood as well as their children and I am fifth in lineage.

Nicole Vaillancourt

Love this museum lots to look at lots to learn. In the winter time the farmer's market goes on in the Huronia Museum.

d s

Nice place to learn about the history of the area.

Debra Gallagher

Much more information especially for a newcomer and a small town than I anticipated.

Barbara Rowlandson

A great community museum with lots of curious objects of interest. Lots of fun events on their calendar. Went to their original murder mystery play last year and it was a hoot! There's another one coming up soon and I'll definitely go. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Sharon Moyer

Excellent exhibits...very entertaining

Alexandre Neveu

(Translated) 2 generous for the effort! It could be renamed the Museum of the English in Huronia. Or the mussé of the erroneous! No native or French presence on the scene, nor even a Huron flag. 70% is dedicated to antiques from the 60s. I advise you dear museum to involve the communities involved or change your name. Visit Penetanguishene (Penetang for English) instead to feel what is left of this beautiful Huronia. Thanks for traduct! You ask me the same when I visit you! (Original) 2 généreux pour l'effort! On pourrait le renommé le musée des Anglais en Huronnie. Ou le mussé de l'erronie! Aucune présence autochtone ni française sur les lieux, ni même un drapeau Huron. 70% est consacré à des antiquités dattant des années 60. Je vous conseille cher musée d'y faire participer les communautés impliqués ou de changer de nom.visitez plutôt Penetanguishene (Penetang pour les Anglais) afin de ressentir ce qu'il en reste de cette belle Huronie. Thanks for traduct! You ask me almost the same when I visit you!

Rudolf Sladek

Unfortunately the village is in a bad condition and needs a renovation. The entrance fee is not justified.

Carla Grawbarger

A must see place! Unfortunately covid has affected them too. It was self guided. Not the usual bells and whistles.....people in period dress working in the village. We are happy we went!

Zahuardin Mohamed

Not too much to see than the other Museum

Diane Tyler

Their advertising was appealing. When we arrived, it looked like an old building from the seventies. There was no curb appeal to draw us in. We ate our lunch on a picnic table. We watched several vehicles come into the parking lot and leave. One couple went in and came out. They said it was not worth it. The museum was a favourite place in the past to ppl I know. Maybe they need a refresh so they don't loose the opportunity to share such a rich history.

Matthew Tessier

An amazing museum showing you some Canadian heritage of an early Huron settlement.

B K

Absolutely worthwhile to see, especially the part on first nations.

Liam Stewart

As small town Museums go, this is a must see! Artifacts from 1600s! And their village is hauntingly accurate and well made. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Neil Price-Jones

Museum a bit crowded. Wendat village was quite interesting. Some parts missing

A K

Loved it

marc manatch

Richard J

Interesting, but not in best condition...

Trevor Henderson

Great little museum with creative programming

Hans Mayer

Fast food

Eileen Doucet

Lovely spot. Well laid out with generally good signage for those who are new to the history of the Wendat and Huronia.

Peace For All

Great tourist place to learn about a time long ago, one of the very few good memories of Penetanguishene; not much more in the 1980's. Loved Wasaga beach, Orilla, Innisfil, etc. and the natural beauty of the waterways.

BRENDA GROVES

Lots of interesting things to see and the tuck shop has a few bargains if you're looking for a souvenir
