Bradley Museum

Good place to spend half a day with kids. They give you pan cakes, coffee and snacks to much on as you visit the farm. Volunteers form most of the staff here. It would have been great if they provided a summary of things to do ... we were kind of clueless where to start.

Great time here for the maple syrup festivities. Very knowledgeable staff and great value for money. We’re very fortunate to have something so close.

We loved it. Anita who gave us a tour was fantastic. We loved it. She definitely has passion for what she is doing, making it more enjoyable for those who listen and learn about museum. My kids loved it. Thank you so much.

War of 1812 - the USA declared war on Great Britain and its North American colonies. More than 50 individuals from historic Mississauga served with the military and Lewis Bradley was one of them, with whom the Bradley Museum is named.
The museum displayed some of the Indigenous people’s religion and spirituality. 「Native spiritual life is founded on a belief in the fundamental inter-connectedness of all natural things, all forms of life with primary importance being attached to Mother Earth. The Medicine Wheel. The symbol of the circle holds a place of special importance in Native beliefs.」—— this info is copied from the internet.
There’s a “Spirit Tree” where they cut out the bump and carve a mask from this piece of wood. They offer the mask for a special ceremony and then burnt it after used. The part that was cut off from the tree will grow back again and look like a face. They believe they will see their ancestors in it when they look longer at the face.
There’s a “Sweat Lodge” used to purify the body before any ceremony or going to fight a war.
The museum has a lot of interesting things to offer and is worth of visiting.

We visited for a reenactment event but really enjoyed the space. It was a surprise to find this hidden in the neighborhood and we'll definitely be back.

This was an incredible location, I loved seeing the property and enjoy the historic value of this place! It’s a really nice spot to photograph on film! It’s a nice place place to take children or friends! A park down the road and a few other historic sites near by

Great place to visit any time of the year.

In March they organize a Maple Magic festival with tours explaining how maple syrup is made. You can taste maple syrup and delicious Indigenous food. If you’re looking to eat moose or deer this is where you can find it along with sweet pine tea and other delicacies of original Canadian food.

Learn about the history of Mississauga with the help of knowledgeable employees and volunteers or just enjoy the beautiful area. There’s a fairytale like log house and other historic buildings that will bring you back in time of the settlers arrival to Canada.

For practicalities: there’s free parking and toilets on site.
