Description: |
For over 35 years Markham Museum has educated and entertained visitors. Our goal is to encourage visitors to value the role of museums as a source of life-long learning, to help foster creativity, and to help our community understand local history and the innovators who have gravitated to Markham for many decades.
We provide people in our community with a unique, participatory experience – a place where children and accompanying adults can explore their creativity, use their imaginations, and interact with each other in meaningful ways. We know that children learn through play, experimentation, and exploration, and we give them these experiences through our educational programming, and in our children’s hands-on gallery, Tactile Lounge, and through activities and demos at our Special Events. Our exhibits, heritage village and working gardens allow visitors to glimpse the innovative creations of times past, and allow them to draw parallels to our society today. |
