This is a hidden gem that is Free of Cost The place houses different unique items from the era of 1850s. It is one of the small museums that carries the history of a town. I was fascinated to see so many accessories from the past. Also staff is very friendly and keeps you engages while fulfilling your curiosity and your questions. There is a park nearby if you have kids they can enjoy their play time.

The Scarborough Museum is free to visit, and it takes about 20 minutes to wander through. I visited on Canada Day, where there were demonstrations of life not just in the past but also in the present. It's not just learning about the past, but understanding the multicultural nature of Scarborough in our present day.

Worth checking out these two historic homes. Interesting antique items inside. There were some freshly made scones inside on offer, made on the antique stove inside, asking with some amazing hand made jams.

Washing machine was so interesting, genius invention when there was no electricity available. Tour guide explained very detailed history of the house. Many musical instruments and early 3D glasses. It is so interesting to know today’s 3D cinema technology already invented in 18th century.
