I visited here yesterday located on the grounds of Dundurn Castle after you checked in for a tour at Dundurn Castle you receive a pass for the museum afterwards. The museum is a self guided tour, you walk around and check out all the displays, and artifacts from Hamilton's history in past Wars. I found alot of the displays to be very informative and well setup. There is some interactive displays. I enjoyed the museum and learned many new things about our past history in Wars. The staff was very polite and accommodating.

Very small museum close to Dundurn Castle. When you buy a ticket for Dundurn Castle, they provide this ticket too. There are not many exhibits, but you can take pictures wearing 18th century clothing. Viewing hours are from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. If you cannot attend, you can use it on another day. 20~30 minutes is enough to look around.

It is a small museum but fun if you are interested in history. Unlike other places, you can touch some exhibits and try war time outfits. Admission is free if you purchase a ticket for the tour of the Dundurn castle, which is a plus. The staff member was really friendly and helpful.

Loved this place. Museum is small and really cozy. Lots of interactive stuff such as costumes of 19th venture that you can wear, checkers that you can play, etc. Price for this museum is included in Dundurn Castle Price. So, you pay just ~$12 for 2 museums.

Small but interesting. It is perfect little entertainment for people who are interested in history. I recommend watching "story of us" first 3 episodes on YouTube before going there.

Lovely patient gentleman at front desk. The old building is warm and cozy. I was impressed with variety of exhibits. Professionally done. Engaging.

Small museum, admission is free if you purchase a tour at Dundurn Castle. Worth a stop if you are interested in history

Interesting facts on ontario as a warzone, leading up to the war of 1812. Really good props for smaller children.

Good place to learn about the last USA Vs Canada war. This war set the base for modern history of North America

Fun little building, with a children's room upstairs with some instruments to play with.

Wonderful little museum, another one of those well kept secrets in Hamilton!

Beautiful Park, beautiful historic home, a wonderful place!
