Incredible step back through time in Lucan history and The Donnellys. So many actual artifacts from the family, super cool seeing the replica of the original tombstone. Out back from the museum is a cabin in the same layout as the Donnellys house, pretty cool walking through. Thomas was so helpful and kind, he even opened on a day they are generally closed to accommodate my visit in from out of town. Very lovely chatting with him and speaking with someone who is also excited and passionate about this subject. He has a map for three other spots in town you can visit that are all less than five mins away (the donnelly homestead, the school house the vigilante crew gathered at before walking up the roman line to slay the Donnellys and the church where one of the sons was married where the murdered bodies are lain with the newer tombstone. Just magical. Great experience for history and true crime buffs.

From the Donnellys to Jame Reaney's Gothic tales, this is the place you need to see. This cosy, enlightening, and exquisite small museum archives the past of the legendary Lucan-Biddulph Township, where the most famous Southwestern Ontario Gothic folklore - the stories of, about, and around the Donnellys -- sets it roots. If you have read James Reaney's acclaimed playwright, The Donnellys, and his Gothic short story, \Sleigh Without Bells: A Ghost Story About the Donnellys\, you must come and see the museum and the town. This is where your connection with the deepest rural Southwestern Ontario begins.
Really cool place to learn about the local area and history. Leaning about the Donnelly's and the way of life in Ontario at that time was really interesting. Lots of things to see there along with a video presentation. Knowledgeable and passionate staff there.
Lots of info, great movie explaining, and very friendly staff...except the young one sitting on his phone in the one outbldg lol
What a lovely time at this museum! Tons of information and the friendlist staff. Kathleen took us around and showed us all the ins and outs of the displays, we will absolutely be back again this summer with more friends!
