Park House Museum, Historic house museum in Amherstburg, Canada
The Park House Museum spans two floors in a wooden structure featuring period furnishings, artifacts, and exhibits about local history and daily life in Ontario.
Originally constructed in Detroit during 1796, the building was dismantled and transported by canoe to Amherstburg in 1799, where it served multiple purposes over centuries.
The museum presents exhibits about early medical practices, domestic life, and commercial activities of the region through an extensive collection of period items.
The museum opens Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with admission by donation and special rates for educational group visits.
The Park House Tinsmiths create traditional reproduction tinware on site, maintaining historical crafting techniques while supporting museum operations through their sales.
