Park House Museum A Community Museum nestled in the beautiful town of historic Amherstburg, Ontario If you are interested in booking a tour, please contact the Park House Museum.

The Park House is an early example of Pièce sur Pièce log construction and is said to have been built in the 1790s at the mouth of the Rouge River in Detroit. When Detroit was ceded to the United States, the owners decided to dismantle the building and float it down the Detroit River to Amherstburg. Today the Park House is a year round museum catering to the needs of visiting school children, seniors and the general public, as well as being an interesting and informative place to visit. Set Programs are available and custom tours can be arranged for special interest groups. Should any visitors have accessibility requirements, and if your comfortable with discussing, please contact our museum, so we can help facilitate your needs for the best experience possible. During the summer month, the pensioner's cottage is open to the public where tinsmithing is demonstrated. Tin sales are open year round and can be purchased in the gift shop or ordered online. Donations are welcome anytime of year and are very helpful to our success. We accept cheques payable to "Park House Museum" , cash, debit, and credit.. Also, we are registered with www.canadahelps.org, so you can make donations online using your credit card. Please contact us if you're interested in volunteering on any of our committees, with programs, events, or have a suggestion... we would love to hear from you.
