Brockville Museum

The Brockville Museum is a historical landmark. The land on which the house stands was first deeded to Daniel Jones in 1790, one of the area’s early settlers. In 1824, Isaac Beecher, who had arrived from the United States, bought the Daniel Jones property. Beecher owned the house until his death in 1870.

The property was sold in 1897, to the Central Canada Coal Company, which retained possession until 1976 when the City of Brockville, with assistance from the Brockville and District Historical Society, purchased the house and its surrounding property.

June 1981, the Beecher House doors were opened to the public. The Museum grew steadily in membership, expanded its programs for children and adults, exhibits continued to change with the growing collection. Soon the physical space of Beecher House could no longer meet the growing needs of the Museum.

In the early 1990s, the Museum expanded into a new addition which included a Carriage Hall, a classroom, costume room and an upper gallery which houses the archives, theatre and more exhibits.

Over the years since the first opening its doors, the Museum’s exterior has also seen improvements with the addition of beautifully tended flower beds as well as a sheltered patio for all to enjoy.
