Brockville Attractions

Brockville Museum
"Brockville. . . the prettiest village I have seen in Canada"
Lt. Col. Charles Gray made this statement about the first incorporated community in Upper Canada in June of 1838. Named after the hero of the War of 1812, Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, Brockville continues today to live up to this picturesque tradition perceived by Col. Gray. Situated in Brockville's historic downtown core, the Brockville Museum features exhibits and artifacts related to the community's rich history, including an 1890's St. Lawrence Skiff manufactured by the Sauve Boat Works and vehicles, such as the Brockville Atlas, produced by the Canada Carriage Company. Changing thematic displays and special events compliment the permanent exhibits. The Brockville Community Museum also houses the Leeds and Grenville Genealogical Society and the local history archives. The Museum holds The River City Gallery and has a picnic area overlooking the majestic St. Lawrence River. Bus and special group tours are available upon request. Come in and visit us to see where history lives.

Fulford Place
No visit to the famous 1000 Islands would be complete without a tour of Fulford Place. Senator George Taylor Fulford made millions from "Pink Pills for Pale People", a patent medicine he manufactured in Brockville and sold around the world. Fulford recognized the commercial potential of the readership developed by mass-circulation newspapers and built his business on saturation print advertising. He constructed Fulford Place, a 20,000-square-foot Edwardian mansion between 1899 and 1901. The original grounds were designed by Frederick Olmsted of the Olmsted landscaping firm, which also designed Central Park in New York City.
Original tapestries, paintings, statuary and ceramics collected on the Fulfords' world travels are on display throughout the period rooms and are featured in special exhibits. The grand style of the Beaux Art house was ideally suited to the Fulfords, as they entertained Canadian Prime Ministers, British princes, and the neighbouring well-to-do whose grand ‘cottages' lined the St. Lawrence River.
45-minute guided tours of the mansion / Seasonal exhibits featuring the extensive collection
