Description
Inside Hamilton’s Museums helps to satisfy a growing curiosity about Canada’s steel capital as it evolves into a post-industrial city and cultural destination. In this special excerpt we visit Burlington's Joseph Brant Museum, which commemorates the Mohawk leader Thayendanegea, or Joseph Brant, who built his home on a site bordering modern-day Hamilton. John Goddard takes us on a detailed tour of the historic home, providing fascinating historical background and insight.
