Reviews of Clarington Museums and Archives (Tourist Attraction)

Lookslike Photography & Virtual Tours

Have you ever wandered off the 401 just past Oshawa? You should go North a little and discover Clarington, Bowmanville, Newcastle and of yes the Clarington Museum and Archive, specifically Waverly House. When you take the virtual tour and see the bathroom, but it doesn't quite click. Point your mouse through the door and then click. Voila inside the bathroom. This piece of early Canadian property is stunning, check out the photos and check out the outdoor shots I did. Now jump in the car and head out.

Nice place. I enjoy being allowed to sit on their benches when the museum is closed.

I started out volunteering here in high school and through it, I found a love for history and the museum industry. All the love to this museum. I wish for more people in Clarington and the surrounding area to take some time here to learn about their local history.

My family participated in the Love 'Em and Leave 'Em night. Each of were thrilled with the opportunity! We'd even pay more for the night or pay based on time spent. Hoping to see this become a regular event/feature ????

This place is a gem. Great artifacts and historical notes on the history of our little town. Claringtown is a great new feature with really awesome activities for kids of all ages to learn about life here. Incredibly knowledgeable staff took the time to provide us with added information about some of the exhibits including Camp 30 and the Piano Factory. We went on a Spirit Walk and had a fantastic time learning about some of the darker history of Bowmanville. Cant wait to tell everyone else about this. Thank you Heather, Amy and Carly for your knowledge and for the whole experience.
