Very lovely place to visit, will return.
A plethora of information concerning slavery. There were replicas of items that help to understand a slaves experience. The video was helpful to explain a part that Canada had with the Underground Railroad. We were glad to have the guide who was helpful with answering questions and information that wasn't in posters, plaques, or pictures.
I didn't get to go inside because it was already closed for the evening, but when I visited at dusk, it is was a perfect evening dusk in a beautiful rural setting. There are lots of historical markers and interpretive exhibits outside so I get a sense of what the settlement was like. An important location in the history of settlement of settlers from the Underground Railroad. Worth a visit.
Great collection, fascinating history, and very welcoming staff. Thanks Shannon!
Excellent historical information. Our guide was fantastic and kept the adults and children engaged. I highly recommend visting the Buxton National Historic Site!
How did people live at that time?
The most touching tour I have ever taken. Many of the volunteers at the museum are descendants of the original settlers. It was a very personal glimpse into a community that influenced leaders in both America and Canada. This museum is well worth the drive.
The result for Buxton National Historic Site & Museum‎, that points to the corner of Cecil and Warwick is wrong. This is the wrong town. The museum is in North Buxton, to the west, not Ridgetown.
