Whitehern Historic House and Garden National Historic Site

An intact historic home in Canada, with guided tours from a costumed interpreter. Three generations of the McQuesten family lived at Whitehern from 1852-1968, and in 1959 the three surviving members bequeathed the home to the City with all its original contents. Whitehern contains elements from many time periods – Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian – dating up to 1939.

The Stable at Whithern is available to rent for weddings, social gatherings, or events and can accommodate 25 to 30 guests. Includes kitchenette and use of dishes, and accessible washrooms. Contact for information and bookings.
