“My favourite part about the museum is that there are so many buildings to explore, the blacksmith shop, the pioneer house and the boat. I bring my nephew every summer to see the new exhibit.”  -  Claire J., retired teacher

“Having staff explain so much to us—and with so much knowledge and interest—really made the visit enjoyable!”  -  Jessica S., group tour operator

“I’ve had the pleasure of receiving the highest level of assistance and hospitality whenever I’ve visited the Port Colborne museum... Staff have consistently gone above and beyond expected public service norms in providing sources, community contacts and research assistance with every visit and always with a friendly, professional attitude.” - David M., researcher
