Welcome to the Official YouTube Channel for the Amherstburg Freedom Museum.

The Amherstburg Freedom Museum is located in Amherstburg, Ontario, then, a chief entry point into Canada for those escaping slavery.

Amherstburg resident Melvin “Mac” Simpson believed that social, economic and educational problems could be addressed more effectively by people with a greater self awareness and pride in their own history.

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!
