McCrae House, National historic site in Guelph, Canada
The limestone cottage features permanent exhibitions that showcase the life of John McCrae through personal artifacts, military medals, and historical documents.
Built in 1858, this house gained national significance as the birthplace of John McCrae, who wrote the renowned World War I poem 'In Flanders Fields'.
The museum preserves Canadian military heritage through exhibits, educational programs, and displays that connect visitors with the impact of World War I.
