“Wee bit of Canadian History”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

I like learning so this place was nifty to check out the history. The accompanying video was a bit cheesy, but provided a good back story to the purpose for the site.

“Must see for Canada's national beginnings”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2012

The story of confederation from the site where it all took place to the uninvited guests that made Canada unite into the dominion. Short 17 minute presentation and ablility to see the rooms where the houses sat to deliberate. Very inspiring!

“now I know why there is Canada!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 27, 2012

I give this a 4 only because the building is very plain, but inside the chambers are nicely appointed, and the peoople are informative and friendly. Being "American" I never wondered why Canada is, and about our similarities and differences. The history in this building explains it and stimulated my brain
