Billy Bishop Home and Museum
Billy Bishop Home and Museum, National historic site and military museum in Owen Sound, Canada.
The Billy Bishop Home and Museum occupies a two-and-half storey brick house featuring Victorian furnishings, military artifacts, and original hardwood floors from 1884.
William Avery Bishop lived in this residence from 1894 until 1911, before becoming a First World War pilot who eliminated 72 enemy aircraft.
The museum maintains exhibits of uniforms, medals, photographs, and models that document Canadian participation in both World Wars through local perspectives.
Located at 948 Third Avenue West, the museum offers guided tours for groups up to 30 people and special tea events in the front parlours.
The property stands as the single remaining structure in Canada that connects directly to Billy Bishop's life before his military achievements.
