Great place to visit.... huge source of information about Brockville- fee of entry is by donation. Very organized and clean facility- if you read everything it should take about an hour and a half to get through the two levels of the museum....highly recommend especially if it is your first time in Brockville as it was for us

July 2022 update Really nice and well located museum. No admission but donations welcomed. There are two sections to the museum. One side is the famous people or residents from the region and their stories. While the other side is a large room with artifacts on main and paintings on second floor. I suggest start with the people and social section first so that you will have a better understanding of the layout of the artifacts areas and it’s paintings.

Great museum that highlights the early transportation and commercial roots of Brockville, some artists of Brockville, war with the Americans, the tunnel, and early life. Some paintings hang in the museum. Clean washroom. Friendly and efficient staff person with a sense of humour. An excellent overview of Brockville life and history. Visited late July 2022
