Joseph Schneider Haus, Historic Mennonite homestead in Kitchener, Canada.
The two-story wooden house stands at 466 Queen Street South, featuring traditional Pennsylvania German architecture with period-specific outbuildings and an orchard.
Joseph and Barbara Schneider constructed this residence in 1816, establishing one of the first non-Indigenous settlements in Waterloo County during the Mennonite migration.
The museum collection contains over 7,000 items including quilts, paintings, historical documents, and leather objects representing Ontario's early Mennonite community.
The museum provides guided tours with staff in period clothing who demonstrate traditional crafts and daily activities from the 1850s Ontario era.
The site maintains original architectural elements and landscape features from the early 19th century, including evidence of traditional Mennonite construction methods.
