Been to the Museum a few times now for the ever changing exhibitions and displays. The museum is small but has a extensive collection of historical items from the area.
We are frequent visitors to the museum. It is very kid friendly. The Sunday afternoon crafts are simple but fun. The people who work/volunteer are very nice and enjoy interaction with the guests. Visits are by donation, so please donate, this is a great place for families to learn about Peterborough and its history.
We had a very positive experience at this facility. The staff were simply amazing. Our suggestion is to take the walking tour and then ask questions of the staff. You will be surprised at their knowledge. Take your time! There is a lot of information available about the Peterborough area.

The collection of the museum is so huge that only 3% of its total artifacts are displayed at one time. Group... more
