family histories

Have you ever considered looking into your family history? The Amherstburg Freedom Museum is here to help. We have the resources you need to get started on tracing your family roots. Each month, we highlight a family from the museum’s Family History Collection.
There will be a series of posts, one per week, which tells you information about the month’s highlighted family. If you have a suggested family you would like to see highlighted, please let us know!

PERMANENT GALLERY

The museum has several interesting and unique artifacts on display in our permanent gallery that illustrate the journey Black people made from enslavement to freedom in Canada as well as the legacy of those descendants who built their lives in this region.
