Dundas Museum & Archives — Attraction in Hamilton

I visited Dundas Ontario for the Art Tour and the museum hosted some with the local artist under the roof . The museums history is written about early settlers to the area and from their perspective and not from the prospective off the First Nations tribes . This l find very concerning then mentioned it to the staff as the history dated back to the 1700 and prior confederation in 1867 Canada the nation was formed and this land was stolen from the various First Nations tribes some of those are extinct as a result of being murdered and the cultural genocide continues 151 years later. There's no representation from the First Nations people , there's no representation of their stories , their history and I as we know treaty agreements doesn't mean that the land was sold I stated on the information posted and the museum . Until the cultural genocide stop then until the stories are being told by the First Nations we will never know the truth and their extinction continues daily . Confederation laws are still being used against First Nations communities yet this is not their land it belongs to the First Nations therefore only their rights and their laws apply . Prime minister Justin Trudeau said I'm sorry for the residential schools but his actions prove but he isn't sorry in the still enforcing The Crown versus the Indigenous just as those who enforced residential schools , Confederation , the falsified purchase agreement and documentation stating ownership and property when it is only the First Nations land. #Canadian History, #indigenous,...

My husband and I had our wedding rehearsal dinner here in December 2021. We had a wonderful experience. It accommodated our 30-person party perfectly. Intimate enough that we could hang out with each one of our guests but safe enough that we could physically distance throughout the room. Plus, guests were able to tour the museum throughout the evening! It was also accessible for guests with mobility issues. The sound system allowed for video/photo slideshows and a mic set-up. (We did, however, require a Lightning Digital AV Adapter but thankfully one of our guests had one on hand but something to note to check with them on what A/V elements are available to you -- also that you'll have to take your garbage with you which we didn't confirm beforehand but thankfully some of our guests were able to take it with them.) We had food delivered from a local catering company and then set up the food as a buffet style in the dining room which worked out really well. Highly recommend the Dundas Museum...

Had a great visit to the Dundas Museum this afternoon. Donations are welcome, but admission to the galleries is free. Much of the information and displayed artifacts are related to the post-colonial history of the town of Dundas. However, some installations relate to the prehistoric period of the area with a display of fossils of brachiopods, trilobites, and other specimens. An effort has been made to provide some historical context of the pre-colonial First Nations peoples who lived in the area. The interactive play area for children is terrific. I particularly like the use of Lego! The current installation related to Dundas Central School has a Lego model of the school. Definitely worth a visit if you are curious about the history of Dundas.

There is an accessible entrance (ramp and powered door) on the Albert Street side. An elevator is present and an accessible washroom.
