This is a small museum about the 1000 Islands region and its history. It provides a more complete understanding of the area and how it developed. I found it very interesting and an enjoyable way to become acquainted with the 1000 Islands. The shop has some nice Canadiana mementos available for purchase.
This is a nice place to spend the afternoon. The small museum is very interesting. There is also an art gallery, book store, several gift shops and an ice cream stand. Visit by car or boat.
What a lovely surprise and excellent viewing on a rainy day. Full of information about the history of the area relating to its past industries, wars with America and a film about Boldt Castle. Not good for children as there is a lot of reading. The warden was very friendly and filled in many of the gaps.
Just the right size for someone wanting to learn about Ganaoque and area. It doesn't take two hours to go through. Nicely presented artifacts and history with themes appropriate for locals as well as far away visitors.
One of our stops in our two day visit to Gananoque was the Arthur Child Heritage Museum. The museum was well maintained, well staffed and filled with interesting exhibits. Time spent in this museum is time well spent, we can away informed and entertained.
A great array of war related artifacts - I realize it was a special display, but would have liked more about local history. What there was was well displayed and accessible.
I was pleased to find this new museum. So many small towns don't have a good record of their past. This museum also will be displaying artifacts from the old town museum that closed around 1990. The previous was a small museum with a great collection but not the space or finances to be able to take advantage of the artifacts. I will visit again to see how things progress. The history of this area offers endless possibilities.
We stopped at the museum after arriving in Gananoque. It's by the marina and cruise boarding area. Very interesting exhibit about the history of the region. They had a very good documentary about Boldt's Castle. If you have children, go to the top floor. There's an interactive game where they can drive a ship.
We visited this museum on the afternoon we arrived in Gananoque. It gave us a great background of the history of the area, how the islands were formed, etc. The docents were very friendly and informative.
It was well run, the captions were easy to read and relevant to the area. the exhibit focused on the War of 1812
