Here’s a cultural outing the whole family will love! In one afternoon, you can relive the past in Knowlton, the historic heart of Brome Lake, and learn how people in the region lived in the early 19th century.
The Lac-Brome Museum comprises several historical buildings: the Old Fire Hall; the Children’s Museum; the War Museum (Martin Annex), which houses a Fokker DVII, one of the only German World War I biplanes of its kind with its original material and the largest collection of artifacts outside the Canadian War Museum; the former County Courthouse, built in 1858, where the Archives Centre is now located (open from Monday to Friday); the old Knowlton Academy; and the Paul Holland Knowlton House, the log cabin that belonged to the village’s founder. A short drive from Knowlton, on the western shore of Brome Lake, you can also visit the Tibbits Hill Schoolhouse which is open to the public on weekends only.
Come and visit our interactive Children’s Museum, where people of all ages can learn about the local history through play.
The Centennial Building, built in 1967, houses the ticket office, the Museum Boutique and The Temporary Exhibition Gallery.
We invite you to visit the company’s website and social medias for their business hours and admission fees.
