markham museum

We took our adult children and grandchildren here for a family outing. Tons of interesting displays and some very interesting Markham history. We also visited the Historic village and it was wonderful for the grandchildren to see how things were a hundred years ago and more. Very worthwhile.

Was there for a wedding the room is small but very nice, the atmosphere was very nice, the room where the wedding reception was keep was very big and lots of space, it was very nice and different.

Our friends' wedding was outside and the weather held off for a perfect afternoon. The atmosphere was light, friendly and beautiful. There were several people along the way from the parking lot guiding us where to go. After the wedding, snacks and beverages were set up outside of the reception hall. It started to rain lightly unfortunately but the staff was quick to move everything inside. The facilities were clean and standard. The "dance" area was nicely surrounded by fencing. The DJ was awesome! I'm not sure if I can find a place on here to rate him, but 5/5!

Lots of historic buildings are preserved here. Even the train engines and platforms. Very peaceful - can easily spend 1-2 hours learning about history of the place! Entry is pretty reasonable - $6. Other exhibits inside the building are very nice as well...

Very well presented, for a small town Museum is very well done.Our community has its annual summer picnic on the grounds every year. Wash room facilities are top notch.I've been told that Actors Haden Christiensen and Rachel Bilson who live in Uxbridge...the next town over has vistied but I can't confirm this.

I think that this is a special place that needs to be preserved especially given all of the development that continues to take place around it. They have many special events and the summer camp is a popular place for your children. The village is well taken care of and great staff are very helpful and full of information. Great family place. I've spent many hours with my family enjoying the museum and village.

This museum is well worth seeing , in spring , summer , and fall. Applefest in late September is a must!

It is a great place to spend a summer afternoon, great personnel awesome plae to take pictures of old Historic buildings, some of them you can go in as well.

learn allot in the place wether you are with kids or adults. Very interesting place to be. Worth visiting

Lots of special events, great place to walk, easy access, lots of parking, friendly staff, great for school kids.

Markham Museum connects the history of Markham to today’s new ‘settlers’ by examining our environment and the tools we use to adapt to our changing world. The 25-acre Museum site offers: exhibits, school programs, public programs and events, private event venues and research facilities. There is an old CNR Business Car used by Prime Ministers, plus a Station and CPR Caboose

I've leaved down the road from the museum for years and only recently visited. I was pleasantly surprised. Admission was inexpensive and they gave us a personal guide to walk us around. Some of the building where opened for us and it was neat to see. This place has the potential to be like Black Creek Pioneer Village. I'm sure with city backing , this could be a great tourist attractions. We were disappointed that we couldn't get into more buildings. The guides are friendly. Take an afternoon and visit. It's worth the trip.

The Markham museum is cute and worth a visit. Our guide was a super-nice girl whose name I can't remember. The museum wasn't busy because we went on a weekday. There are historical buildings out back and an lovely orchard next to the apple cider making barn.

Marrkham Museum and Historic Village is the place to visit; especially for families with young kids. The grounds are beautiful ... there are apple orchards (with the old fashioned apples) and vegetable gardens, old churches, old trains and barns to peek into. A drive through the Historic Village with beautifully restored century homes (some going back to the 19th century) will leave you pining for the old days . Markham is a new, thriving city but it has retained its rural charm and the people are friendly and welcoming. Make a special visit for applefest.

Beautiful gardens and lots of history. Great place to go with family. Kids would appreciated this place the most. Best to go in the summer to see the gardens
