The Erland Lee Museum
(Museum)
This Gothic Revival farmhouse, carriage house and 2 acres of picnic grounds was the 1897 birthplace of an early women's movement: the Women's Institutes. Guided tours.
(Museum)
In 1972, the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario purchased the Lee home, preserving this vintage home as an important historic memorial to the Institutes beginnings, and to a vanished middle-class rural Victorian lifestyle. It opened as the Erland Lee (Museum) Home the same year, with the exterior and the 1873 additions lovingly restored to their 1897 beauty.
