park house museum

This place is definitely larger then it looks. The staff were very friendly and the house tour was very informative, not to mention that our kids had a blast with the scavenger hunt. I will visit again!

By happy accident, while visiting the village of Amherstburg during our summer vacation, we met the curator of the Park House Museum. Since my husband is an archaeologist and a historian, this chance meeting could not have been more fortuitous. Normally, because of his interests we would not tour this type of museum, having seen many, many over the years. However, as a result of meeting the curator, we received a delightful personal tour of the Park House Museum and spent a few hours comparing historical notes, so to speak, and reviewing a box of artifacts that had been donated to the museum. I was very impressed with the professional displays. It is an uncluttered, very tasteful representation of earlier times, complete with fur trader, medical and home life displays. Thank you very much to Val for coming to the rescue on this leg of our summer vacation. Your kind gestures will not soon be forgotten.

The Park House has been a historical fixture in Amherstburg for generations. It was moved to it's present park like setting from another location in town. Excellent addition to the tourism for this very historic town. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the many items on display are most interesting. Check out the large antique reproduction wooden Noah's Ark up on the second floor that is based on early Sabbath Day toys. This one was made by me and donated to the museum with pleasure.
