The Museum is located in the heart of Old St. Thomas. The first setler Daniel Raplje was given the first land grant, Lot 1 Concession 1 in the Township of Yarmouth, in what would become the City of St. Thomas just a stone throw away from the Museum. Part of the Museum itself was once owned and occupied by Dr. Charles Duncombe as his family home and doctors office. See Site History for more details.
