Mackay Memorial Museum, House museum and memorial in Tamsui, Taiwan.
The Mackay Memorial Museum is a house museum in Tamsui displaying the residence of a Canadian missionary. The building features Colonial Revival style with stucco walls and contains personal belongings, medical instruments, and historical documents from the founder's era.
The house was built in 1875 as the private residence of a Canadian Presbyterian missionary. It grew into a center for medical care, education, and religious activities in the region.
The name honors George Leslie Mackay and his role serving the local community. Visitors can see how Western practices mixed with local customs throughout the rooms.
The museum sits in Tamsui near Mount Guanyin and the Tamsui River. A visit allows you to explore the grounds and exterior architecture as well as view the interior rooms with original furnishings.
During World War II the building became a Peace Clinic offering shelter and support to women who had lost their families. This lesser-known role shows how the site adapted to changing times.
