This maybe a good site for local grammar school children but had very little to offer for adult history buffs. I felt like we were a burden to the guide who had very poor knowledge of the site.More
I'm very sorry to hear that the guide was not more helpful. We will provide more training and advice for the summer staff so that they are more knowledgeable about the site prior to conducting tours. The interpretive panels were designed to provide a more...More

The Doctor who settled here some 200 years ago was quite a Scholar and was impressed with Him starting Public Education here in the province. The Home is beautifully restored and so much to see.
We went to research shipping information and although the detail we were seeking wasn't available, the files they did have were very comprehensive. Anyone seeking historical information would find this a well worthwhile visit.
If you have time to kill, then by all means stop, There are no furnishings, just has info like a museum. The history of the man is interesting, but don't go expecting period furniture.
