Explore the social and industrial history of Ontario's first incorporated town with exhibits and programs that share the stories of the people, products, and events that have shaped this riverfront community for over 200 years.

Housed partly in an 1840s home adjacent to Brockville's waterfront, made-in-Brockville objects like a Briscoe automobile, a Stetson Mountie hat, and a Smart's frying pan (just to name a few) are displayed. The award-winning exhibit, "Travel Trunk: Unpacking Brockville's Cultural Stories" shares insights and personal accounts of the experience of newcomers to the area, while "The People of Brockville" explores the stories of some of Brockville more engaging citizens who have contributed to Brockville's development alongside nearly one hundred objects that tell Brockville stories.  The history of Brockville's relationship with the St. Lawrence River and the railway industry are also explored through the "River & Rail" exhibit. An art gallery space features regularly changing exhibits showcasing the museum hertiage art collection.

The Brockville Museum also offers a variety of senior, adult, and children's educational programs that are delivered year round at the museum and through a number of outreach activities at local hospitals, retirement homes and schools.  The museum also offers a variety of programming options for pre-arranged group tours. A significant amount of on-demand content is available on the Museum's YouTube Channel.

Thanks to the tremendous efforts of volunteers, we are working on getting out entire collection online! Visit our website and follow the links to "Search our Database" to search our collection.  Photos and more information are being added regularly.
