Small but Interesting Museum
July 15, 2014For its size this museum has many interesting displays. The lookout tower nearby is especially worth the climb to get a great view of the harbor and sound. There are pretty gardens and rockery on site as well.

Nice View of the Georgian Bay
May 21, 2013We visited the museum and also climbed up the tower. The view from the top is really very nice and I would recommend it to everyone. There is a charge to get into the Museum but the Tower is free !!! I would say this is a must see !!!

Interesting place, especially on a rainy day
October 07, 2012We stayed in Parry Sound for a couple days during a trip around Lake Huron and finding ourselves a bit hampered by a rainy and blustery day decided to take in the museum. While modest in size, the exhibits were well put together and informative. They gave us a feel for the early days of the area. And for those... more
