Small museum is a hidden gem

In Windsor one cold afternoon, we stumbled upon this museum in a historic house. The house, built by Francois Baby, is packed with historical items that tell the history of Windsor. If you have kids, go directly to the basement, which is full of hands-on exhibits, games, and crafts. (It is aimed at younger kids, but my teenage daughter really... more

An old treasure

The museum is housed in an old residence and, though small, very thoughtfully organized.
It has a permanent exhibition and other, changing ones.

Great 1812 exhibition

We really enjoyed this spot, and learning about its great importance in Canadian history. There's a great area for kids in the basement. It's tucked away between hotels and parking lots, but it's well worth seeking it out to spend an hour learning about the War of 1812, bootlegging and more. And it's free!

A lovely Little place Than Needs Some Financial Friends

This is a Museum in early stages of development. What it needs to enhance what it already ahs is some decnt financial support for a City intent on holding property taxes to Zero--it is a great idea and a good little museusm but it needs a City in Suppport.

they are trying

I am hoping that with the 1812 celebrations this museum will be appreciated

very nice. lost to see

i love looking at history, its part of our past, if you never been than go see.

Free Family Fun

I loved this museum and visiting it with my family! The kids did crafts downstairs, while my husband and I explore the informative exhibits upstairs. Lots of history in this 200 year old house! Clean bathrooms and air conditioning was just an added bonus :)

Quiet Refuge in the Middle of Downtown

A quiet little place to go and learn about this city's history.

Most people do not even know it exists, but its a great little museum and shows alot of history about Windsor. Nestled on the backside of the Hilton between it and Chrysler theatre.
