  The Benares Historic House is beautiful. The staff are wonderful and very friendly. A group of us did the Escape Room on Saturday and we had an absolutely AWESOME time. Would recommend it to all Murdoch fans.

  We were lucky to walk in just as a tour was starting out so we joined up. The guide was not only knowledgeable about the area but also enthusiastic about the family. It made the trip around the house fun. A great piece of local history.

  Hats off to City of Mississauga team. Free this summer because of Canada's 150 Birthday. Must visit this place if you are around.

  Went for the downtown Abby tea which includes scones and tea and an excellent tour of Benares house which is..it turns out...connected to some unconventional women.

  Very well maintained historic house from 1836.

  Due to the rain and our late arrival at the museum, the steam punk event wasn't as awesome as we'd hoped, but another attendee whom we meet in the parking lot leaving raved about the music he'd heard, so mostly our fault for timing, I suspect. There were quite a few cool steam punkers (if that's a word), like the man on stilts and penny farthing biker. I will definitely try to make it back if they run this event next year; my four year old daughter didn't know what to think-which is exactly the perfect reaction to the event. The museum staff was amazing. Friendly and thoughtful, very welcoming and easy to talk to. The house has lots of interesting memorabilia and is quite accessible. It was clear that the museum is working hard to be relevant and I am going to check out their Facebook page for other events!
