Region of Peel Museum

The Region of Peel Museum celebrates the rich heritage of Brampton and area.

From the family treasures and handmade tools of the settlers to pieces of the supersonic AVRO Arrow - the Region of Peel Museum is a perfect 'first museum' for families with young children, with hands-on activities, easy-to-read information and a warm, approachable staff.
