Discover the Stories That Shaped the City of the 1000 Islands
Step back in time and explore Brockville’s rich history at the Brockville Museum, a waterfront gem dedicated to telling the stories of the people, industries, and innovations that built one of Ontario’s oldest communities. Through interactive exhibits, artifacts, and personal stories, the museum offers a fascinating glimpse into how life along the St. Lawrence River has evolved through the centuries.
Explore Brockville’s Heritage
Housed in a historic building on Henry Street, the Brockville Museum features a mix of permanent and rotating exhibits that celebrate the city’s riverfront heritage, local entrepreneurship, and community spirit.
Discover exhibits like:
- The People of Brockville — everyday lives and extraordinary achievements
