Eldon House, Heritage house and museum in London, Canada.
Eldon House is a Georgian-style residence from the 1830s with rooms filled with original furnishings and personal possessions from the era. The building contains multiple floors displaying how a prosperous household was arranged and decorated during that period.
The house was built in 1834 by Captain John Harris and remained in family hands for about 125 years before being given to the city in 1959. This gift to the public ensured the building could be preserved and opened for people to explore.
The home reflects how a prosperous family lived during the 1800s, with furnishings and objects showing their tastes and daily routines. Rooms reveal personal interests shaped by travel and time spent in the community.
Visitors can move through the rooms at their own pace without needing to follow a set route or schedule. Staff members are present throughout to answer questions and provide details about specific items and family history.
Many items displayed throughout come from a world tour the family took in 1897, collecting crafts and objects from Asia, Africa, and Europe. These collections show how international travel shaped the homes and interests of wealthy families during that era.
