1. Dundas Museum & Archives
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 12 reviews
Dundas is a community tucked beneath the Niagara Escarpment in southern Ontario, Canada. It became incorporated as a town on July 28, 1847. Dundas today, with its picturesque downtown, heritage homes and tree lined streets, still echoes that time. Informative, and fun! At the Dundas Museum & Archives, discover Dundas from the time of the glaciers' slow carving of the valley through to today's vibrant community. The experiences and impact of individuals along the way come alive through objects used in their every day lives. We invite you to visit and explore the stories of people and events that have shaped the Valley Town.

if you love military history especially aviation history this is the place to go! You will have the opportunity to sit in the cockpit of World War II Canadian combat aircraft .. and take a virtual reality experience that is amazing and by the way that costs no extra over the admission price. They have volunteers there that are a wealth of information ... many were actually pilots in World War II.

One of the first houses to be built in Stoney Creek, Battlefield House was the home of the Gage family from 1796 until 1835. During these settlement years of the early 19th century, James and Mary Gage cleared and worked the land with their ten children and became well-known for their warm hospitality. The War of 1812 had a direct impact on the Gage family as they found themselves confined to their home when American soldiers occupied their land when a battle broke out during the early morning hours of June 6, 1813. The resulting British victory at the Battle of Stoney Creek was crucial in helping to prevent the Americans from seizing Upper Canada. Less than one hundred years later, in 1899, Sara Calder, grand-daughter of James and Mary Gage and first president of the Women's Wentworth Historical Society, led the purchase and preservation of the homestead. Further recognition of the significant event that took place on this property came in the year 1913, when the 100-foot tall Battlefield Monument was opened, standing as a symbol of peace and commemorating those soldiers who died at the Battle of Stoney Creek.

To learn how not to give up your country to Americans. Learn how the loyalists fought the good fight and won. Beautiful and picturesque area that was once a battle ground area.

We took our 2 granddaughters aged 4 and 2 to the 40th anniversary day. We paid 1978 prices to get in. The girls loved it plenty to do and see for their ages. Juice and popcorn was also given out. Staff were very friendly and a lovely lady showed us around first. Our 4 year granddaughter especially loved the pretend ship and that she got to scrub the decks with the mop. They had a great time. I would agree with previous reviews it is for younger children.
