3 Meilleurs Repères à Hamilton, ON

This is a great opportunity to learn of the history of Victorian-era Canadian (and pre-Canadian) European settlers, including the specific family history of Sir Allan MacNab. The one-hour guided tour of the building gives insight and information about MacNab, his family, and well-treated servant employees. Be sure to ask questions because your guide probably knows more than what they've scripted... Note for mobility; there are numerous flights of somewhat uneven stairs to navigate throughout the two-century-old residence (as expected) so watch your children carefully. Once the tour is completed - definitely take a tour of the entire estate, gardens, and vistas. Admission includes a pass to the Hamilton Military Museum for another good hour of exploration through 1812 history. Great for the whole family; very young children may not understand the historical significance but if they enjoy exploring houses, this might also capture their interest. Pre-purchase of tickets online is highly recommended as the tour groups are purposely kept small.

Absolutely amazing experience with a tour guide booked in advance, we're able to travel back in those times when Hamilton just started to emerge and establish as a newly built community. Having a tour guide at this place is absolutely necessary as you're going to learn a lot of facts and history, as well as all the questions answered. Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and willing to provide the best experience.

Dundurn Castle was a fantastic place to visit. You do have to pay for admittance and can have a large tour group, I just had three people in my group. We did the tour and saw every aspect of the castle/mansion. History buffs would enjoy this and it's just a fun thing to do during a free day on the weekend.

This is an amazing and awesome hidden gem of a museum. Rene was such a generous and informative guide. She gave of herself and her time and I am extremely grateful. I could have personally spent half a day just capturing images of the walking beam steam engine. It runs and is more quiet than a library and is as clean as a pin. The structure and the chimney is as interesting and beautifully crafted as the engine. The museum is close and convenient to the highway and a lakeside walk and a meal is only a jump away.

Really interesting place to learn about Hamilton history. The waterworks was amazing to see the engineering and artistry. We were lucky to go on a day when the riding trains were running. Great experience for families.

Some interesting history preserved in this site of Hamilton's first pumping station. If you like learning about local history, this is a good place to go.

The re-enactors go all out for the battle. Loads to do for the kids and lots of free demonstrations of baking, apothecaries etc.. There are people selling period piece re-creations and they always can answer your questions. The battle itself is vivid, costumes beautiful, and history comes alive. Amazing weekend.

This charming 1796 homestead of the Gage family comes alive with period rooms, costumed guides, and artifacts that bring life during the War of 1812. The towering 100‑ft Battlefield Monument offers sweeping views and history in one spot. The Battlefield House Museum is nestled within peaceful parkland under the Niagara Escarpment — perfect for a stroll or picnic. Annual re‑enactments each June deliver vibrant living history and community spirit — a highlight of the season. Ideal for history lovers, families, or anyone seeking a uniquely Canadian experience.

I loved this Place. love history, but I was disappointed the museum was not open yet it's state it's open 12 to 4. I traveled all the way from PEI and finally got to walk on hallowed ground but I also wanted to see the museum.
