Quebec House, House museum in Westerham, United Kingdom.
Description
Quebec House is a brick building with two stories, three matching gables, and an upper floor tucked beneath a sloped tile roof. Inside, rooms display period furniture, military objects, paintings, and household items arranged to show how occupants lived.
History
Built in 1630 under a different name, the house became the residence of General James Wolfe during the 1730s. Wolfe departed from here to lead British forces in a decisive military campaign in North America.
Culture
The rooms reflect how a wealthy family lived during the 1700s, with period furniture and objects arranged as they would have been daily. You can sense the household routines and social standing through the way the space is organized and decorated.
Practical
Staff lead visits through the rooms with explanations about the furnishings and history of the house. A tea room and bookshop are housed in a converted outbuilding on the grounds where you can rest between viewing areas.
Did you know?
Visitors can touch and handle replicas of British military equipment from Wolfe's time, gaining a hands-on sense of a soldier's kit. You can also try writing with quill pens in the rooms to experience how people communicated then.
