Really enjoyed this museum!

Three levels of displays, artifacts and information plus gift shop is a description that does not give this location enough credit. Prepare to spend at least an hour or two exploring thousand islands history & people - and set aside some time to pick out a souvenir or gift on the way out!

This is a donation run museum and sometimes visitors aren't sure what to donate so I'd recommend $5-10 per person and at least $20 for a family because it's...

Great museum! Free, donations appreciated. Depicts history and geography of the 1000 Islands region. Second floor is quite extensive and has a great 30 minute movie on Boldt Castle. The only drawback is that the exhibits seemed to have no order. I read about the war of 1812 then turned the corner and read about life in the 1930's. I couldn't find any chronological pattern to it. All in all, a good...

There was so much local history included in this small but great museum. I also appreciated that they touched base on climate change and indigenous life/history, which are both very important. To top it all there was a cute little gift shop with lovely products. I bought some Jade earrings for my wife.

I would definitely return here the next time I...

What a warm and friendly welcome from the staff! It’s a small area but covers a lot of ground. The museum has no entrance fee but relies on donations from its patrons. There’s a gift shop as well that features a lot of locally-made items. The model ships are extraordinary! A lot of history to take in all at once; it’s nice to feel a part of something “big”.

First of all, the staff were friendly and helpful. It was really interesting to learn more about the history of the 1000 Islands. The exhibits are beautiful and well presented. Make sure to visit before 3 p.m., as the store closes at 4 p.m. Please consider donating to this wonderful museum, they truly deserve it! 🫶🏻

An interesting and entertaining small museum right next to the docks. We’ve enjoyed our time here. They also have temporary exhibition on a ground level, which we hadn’t have time to see. A small gift shop also available. Admission by donation. Very welcoming staff!
