Thousand Islands Museum

It’s small, but full of the wonders of the 1,000 Islands. Stop in if you want to see historic artifacts from the past (I mean like WAY BACK) or if you want to pay respect to the locals who served this great nation.

The museum is located on James Street in Clayton NY. The exterior is clean and safe 👌 but you do have to pay for parking. The inside of the building you are greeted by the director of the museum. He greeted us and gave us a great speech about the history of the city of Clanton. The museum has 2 floors with an elevator 🛗 if needed. The second floor was the history of the local fishing and duck hunting past. The museum has a few employees who volunteer thank you 😊. Had a good time looking at the rich past this area had. But today it is the best veiw I have ever seen and so clean. Great job to all of the employees who serve the Clayton NY outstanding job 👏 Gerry

The free museum was okay. Our visit did not take long, but we enjoyed a stroll around the town center. Stopped at Bella’s, a cafe and restaurant on the waterfront.

Lots of detailed local history and displays of antebellum articles right on the St. Lawrence River Bay. Across from Canada.

Interesting little museum with some extremely friendly staff.

Beautiful area. Winding roads with beautiful Victorian style cottages. The bridge takes EZ pass and is steep. Be mindful if you don't care for bridges, it's a bit startling. Thankfully it's 30 mph, but it's narrow.

To the best of my knowledge this museum is not handicap accessible. This small museum has a lot of neat items on exhibit. They change the exhibits seasonally. The research library is very nice. They have a huge amount of materials and it is possible to do research, even if you aren't a member, for a reasonable fee.

The lady that greeted us was super friendly, helpful and exceptionally nice. We arrived about 20 minutes before closing and she told us to take our time. How wonderful to see the museum after 25 years.
