Our township went here as part of the township Christmas. They opened up Morestown for us and we were able to see 6 of the buildings with staff in costumes telling us about the history. It was very interesting and informative. I have also been to Grey roots for Archive research and was helped greatly by the archivist. The displays are well displayed with lots of historical information. I would highly recommend this for genealogists as well as for the those interested in the museum experience.

On a recent trip to Grey Bruce we passed by the museum on our way to the cottage. The children were quite excited when they saw it and we looked it up online when we stopped at a nearby wifi location. We have been to the Pioneer Village in Kitchener and although not as large as Kitchener this was very nice and the kids had a great time. We walked through the museum and checked out all the exhibits and also took our time at each of the village homes on the property here. The staff at each building was very interactive and took their time to explain how life was in their time period and made sure they engaged the children in the discussions. The Blacksmith shop was enjoyed more than the other areas as the Blacksmith took a half hour to talk to us about the important role of Ferrier in the area and how the local youth contributed to the trade and shipping. It was a wonderful time and we would love to go back if we're in the area again as the exhibits change and are updated frequently in the museum.

We were there for a family reunion so the museum was key to find out the history of the area. The staff was very helpful. An enjoyable afternoon.

Several times my family had driven by and it had been closed or we were too rushed. But we finally went in and I am glad we did! The main building houses several very interesting exhibits, which we looked over quickly. We then headed outside to their wonderful outdoor "village". It was great. Some places only focus on one time period but this one touches on several. The staff at every building were very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. We did not get a chance to see it all but we will be back. The admission for a family (20 dollars) was good. Although they consider a family to only be 3children with 2 adults when we had 4, the price did not go up as one of our children was under 5. They also seem to have some exhibits that are on loan so each time visiting will be a bit different.

This is a great place to visit for a few hours. The displays in the main building are good, with some hands on displays, interactive exhibits, and very helpful staff. But it is the outdoor "town" that really makes this place great.Recreated or relocated period buildings from around the area are dotted around the 'town', each staffed by people in period costume who can talk knowledgeably about the history of the building, and the objects inside. Young and old will find it fascinating. A fascinating way to explore a bygone era.

My boyfriend and I went to the Grey Roots Museum, unfornately we did not get through it all because I recently hurt and twisted my knee . The archives and stuff that we did see was so interesting though, maybe next year we can go through it all

This beautifully designed building has a modern, upbeat take on how to display the history of the area. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I was fortunate enough to be here for a special event, The Ontario Handspinning Seminar, where we got to go behind the scenes to see the incredible Dorothy Kirk spinning wheel collection.
