The exhibits are wonderful and the town is very fun. Plenty to do but this cute museum steals the show. We will definitely return.

It's so nice and educational. Stephanie was so helpful and knowledgeable about everything. They also have a tin shop and take custom orders. The lantern I bought was amazing! Highly recommend!

An excellently presented view of past events regarding many subjects through the ever changing exhibits. The staff are friendly and generally quite knowledgeable about the building, its history, and the town of Amherstburg. I would make sure to look into what events they are having if you stop by because they have a wide variety! Also, their tinware is better made than anywhere else I've seen and also much more affordable than other places.

My family and I thoroughly enjoy the thought and care put into this Museum. The events held here are informative, fun for children and interesting for parents. We enjoy our outings to Amherstburg and recommend this stop.

Thank you to Victor and Stephanie for a fun and very informative tour of the museum and the tinsmithing areas. Both are very knowledgeable of their individual expertise. Hope to soon get a sample of Stephanie's cooking circa 1900. Lucille, Anita, and Denise and Jim
