Very nice small museum with an interesting local artifacts.
It has a great display on the culture of the area. I don't want to spoil your experience by spilling the details but there is definitely lots to see.
Love it. Love the island. Cant say enough good things
Its been 10 yrs and I still love this place.
A remarkably good sized museum for the size of town and filled with interesting pieces. There are a mix of interesting exhibits and items from First Nations, Pioneer and Heritage days, most of which are local and in very good shape. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and I made sure to test that with questions that I'd had about some of the static displays. There are a several areas outside the museum outdoors as well, local buildings of note that were moved to the museum location and hold additional artifacts and items. Well worth a stop in while you're on the island and frankly for how low the admission price is I'm amazed at how much they have and how long it can take to go through.
I am very surprised that this museum has quite a few exhibits and very organized for a small town of Manitowaning. Also, it is not just decorate-a-few-rooms-to-old-days type of museum but actually have a few items used before. worth a visit if you visit Manitoulin Island.
