Windsor's Community Museum, City museum in Windsor, Canada
The François Baby House in Windsor contains over 15,000 artifacts and documents that tell the story of Windsor and Essex County region.
Founded in 1958 by local historian George Fortune Macdonald, the museum initially operated under the name Hiram Walker Historical Museum due to financial contributions.
The museum preserves the heritage of Indigenous peoples, including the Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee, and Huron tribes who inhabited the area before European settlement.
Visitors can access a digital database featuring collections from both Museum Windsor and the Windsor Sculpture Park through the institution's online platform.
The museum operates from the François Baby House, built in 1812, which received National Historic Site designation for its architectural and historical value.
