Bethune Memorial House, National historic site in Gravenhurst, Canada.

Bethune Memorial House is the 1880 wooden manse of Knox Presbyterian Church in Gravenhurst, Ontario, a two-storey house where Norman Bethune was born in 1890. Parks Canada restored the building after the federal government bought it in 1973, and it now operates as a museum with exhibits on his life.

The house was built in 1880 as a church manse for Knox Presbyterian Church and became the birthplace of Dr. Norman Bethune in 1890. The family departed in 1893, but the building remains a record of his early years in this community.

The house preserves memories of Dr. Norman Bethune and shows how his work continues to connect people across borders. His medical practice and humanitarian efforts are presented here as examples of compassion and practical aid.

The house stands in Gravenhurst, in the District Municipality of Muskoka; Parks Canada runs it after restoration work begun following the 1973 federal purchase. The bronze statue of Bethune is not on the house grounds but on Gravenhurst's main street, beside the Opera House, so allow a separate stop to see it.

The bronze statue of Dr. Bethune is not on the house grounds: the Town of Gravenhurst placed it on the main street, beside the Opera House, and Governor General Adrienne Clarkson unveiled it in August 2002 during a visit to the house.
