Although the museum doesn’t have any particular programs planned, there are several ways you can access museum objects and stories to take some time to reflect. The museum is open on Saturday, November 11, 12 noon-4 pm.

The museum’s People of Brockville exhibit features the stories of several individuals involved in WWI and WWII, including Frederick Curry, Thain MacDowell, Robert Multon, the Brockettes, and John Ross Matherson.

Past Stories from the Stones episodes, available on our YouTube Channel and Digital Museum Site, include Thain MacDowell (episode 2), Elwood Starr (episode 9), and Wilfred Baker (episode 16): https://brockvillemuseum.wixsite.com/digitalmuseum/stories-from-the-stones?fbclid=IwAR24JTA7Ft3is3ta2WSN9fVkszJ4tk7avpWtDuZKgWhX7W5WXU6Qg0yYNoI
