Gibson House, Heritage farmhouse in North York Centre, Canada
Gibson House stands as a Georgian Revival residence with symmetrical architecture, featuring nine evenly distributed windows and a semi-elliptical fan transom above the entrance.
Scottish immigrant David Gibson constructed this residence in 1851 after returning from exile in the United States following his participation in the Upper Canada Rebellion.
The museum introduces visitors to 19th-century domestic practices through demonstrations of traditional cooking methods and period-accurate household activities in the original kitchen.
Located at 5172 Yonge Street, the museum opens Wednesday through Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM, with access from North York Centre subway station.
One apple tree from the original 1832 orchard still grows on the property, producing Tolman Sweet apples as a living connection to the past.
