Musée Historique du Comté de Brome
Musée Historique du Comté de Brome Review
Several buildings, including the former County Courthouse dating back to 1859, the old firehall and a former school, house an eclectic collection that ranges from 19th-century farm tools and Native Canadian arrowheads to military uniforms and a World War 1 Fokker aircraft. It offers visitors a wonderful opportunity to learn about the Loyalists who settled the area after fleeing the American Revolution. The museum also maintains the Tibbits Hill Pioneer School, a stone schoolhouse built in 1834 to serve rural families—it's a great place for the kids to find out what education was like in the mid-19th century.
