A replica of the house built by native chief Tyendinaga and later used as a hospital on the Burlington waterfront. Worth a visit especially on Joseph Brant day - the first Monday of August every year. The specter appears occasionally in the upper window so keep a sharp lookout.

I visited this museum in the middle of the afternoon, and didn't find many people there. Thus, the curator was more available to answer my questions, (or at least try.) The exhibits were great, and convenient to explain the history of Burlington. The gift shop in the hallway seemed a little risky, but what do I know?Overall, a must
