From Home to Museum
The building has served several purposes, including wartime barracks for the Canadian Women’s Army Corps and premises for the Red Cross. Following restoration, the museum opened in 2005. Its present-day activities include permanent and temporary exhibitions, tours and programs.
Heritage and Grounds
The property became a National Historic Site in 1992 and is also a Provincial Historic Resource. The Province owns the house; City Parks manages the terraced gardens around it. Consult the operator for museum hours and exhibitions rather than treating the gardens’ hours as the house’s schedule.
