The 1000 Islands History Museum is a museum in Gananoque, Ontario, Canada, that interprets the history and ecology of Gananoque and the 1000 Islands.[1][2][3] It was once the site of a railway.[4]

Starting with an ancient mountain range and continuing to the present day, this Museum tells a story of the cultures and creatures who have lived along the shores of the St. Lawrence River, in and around the Town of Gananoque.[5] The museum also provides travelling exhibits, such as an exhibit on Canadian women in STEM in 2020.[6]
