I really enjoyed the tour, got educated on the history of Kawartha and on the jail it was well worth the time and money spent

We wanted to know more about the City of Kawartha Lakes and the surrounding towns and villages. Lindsay has a very rich history and more people should pop in and visit this gem.
The museum is housed in the old Lindsay Jail, but there are so many stories about the founders of Lindsay, the settlers, the many industries and Lindsay's contribution to society, history and importance to the surrounding area.
Well worth the time and we will be returning to learn more.
Clarence, our guide, did a great job communicating the many stories and his life experience with town characters and buildings. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.
Thanks Clarence!
Our Friday tour lasted over 2 hours and we enjoyed our time there.

My experience overall was great. The staff was very friendly and informative.
To enhance my experience, I would have liked to buy tickets online. I also believe that would be helpful some visual and audible media, not only for people with disabilities but it would be "super cool" having stories about the prison, and about all the amazing rooms. I think it would enhance the ambiance.
I loved the artsinal items by indegineous people. It would be great if it was advertised on the site (maybe I missed it)
Overall, it was great, and I'll definitely repeat it

Very interesting museum about the history of Lindsay. I felt a bit creeped out after I was done. Walking through old jail cells is a bit eerie. Nevertheless, still a good experience.
