Whitehern, Neoclassical national historic site in downtown Hamilton, Canada
The 1848 Whitehern residence spans three floors and incorporates Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian architectural elements within its limestone and brick structure.
The McQuesten family inhabited this residence from 1852 until 1968, when the last sibling passed away and bequeathed the property to Hamilton.
The museum displays original furnishings, artworks, and personal belongings from three generations of the McQuesten family across different historical periods.
Guided tours operate Tuesday through Sunday at 12:10 PM, 1:30 PM, and 3 PM, with adult admission priced at 9 Canadian dollars.
The walled garden contains period-appropriate plants and provides an enclosed green space within the urban environment of downtown Hamilton.
