A Bit of History…

In 1798, King George III granted the Mohawk and British army captain 3,450 acres at the head-of-the-lake (Burlington Bay) for his services to the Crown during the Seven Years War and the American Revolution. The Museum was originally built in recognition of Joseph Brant ‘Thayendanegea’ (1742-1807) as Burlington’s first citizen. Construction began in 1937, with the official opening of the Museum on May 22, 1942.

For over 30 years, the need to improve the facilities was a well-documented priority. In 2016-17, three levels of government and the Burlington Museums Foundation were able to make this long-awaited objective a reality by committing to the ‘Joseph Brant Museum Transformation’ project.

Designed by Chamberlain Architectural Services Limited, the ‘new’ Joseph Brant Museum opened September 15, 2019.
