Visited the Bethune Memorial house today. The grounds are open but the museum and facilities are closed due to Covid19. The grounds are well maintained but the place is deserted. Signage is in English, French and Chinese. Obviously, it is a site of importance to many people. It is worth visiting only if you are in Gravenhurst or the Muskoka area. It is really not worth more than a thirty minute side trip in my opinion. Look at my pictures and tell everyone that you were there. Gravenhurst was his birthplace. He left the place far behind in his life.

A very educational tour. The house is not open at the moment due to COVID but they have a staff on-site for questions.
If you are from China, you are very likely to know this man. I learned about Bethune at a very ealry age, he was like a super star in China. Finally had a chance to visit his hometown and his house after being in Canada for so long. The mesuem itself is very small, mostly posters. His house was more interesting. You do have to pay a bit more to visit upstairs of the house which is included in a guided tour. Overall, worth a visit if you are in the area, and if you are curious about why he was so famous in China.
Only the outdoor areas and greenspaces are open, hope can come back and visit again soon...
An incredible experience! 3.90 for general entry to the museum where you can learn about this famous Canadian thoracic surgeon. You also have access to the outdoor grounds ans the first floor of the house he was born in. For another 3.90 you can watch a very good 10 minute video and explore the rest of the house, as well as have a unique photo opportunity. Very informative, great for the general public and especially for anyone working or studying in the healthcare field.
Visiting Bethune's memorial house,the staff is friendly, the only thing is to buy basic tickets can not go upstairs, need upgrade tickets . The country was quiet and very beautiful in fall.
Simple museum/memorial. Staff are very nice, friendly, and helpful. Museum also has Chinese translations. Overall, a fun trip with the Parks Canada 150 pass.
With Covid 19 protocols in place, this is a lovely memorial to spend an hour or so looking at the memorabilia and reading historic information about Norman Bethune. Wish there was more information about his impact on Canadian Healthcare system.
