Description:
Step back in time and visit Gibson House Museum, an elegant farmhouse built by the Gibson family in 1851. Its serene Georgian exterior belies the dramatic lives members of the household pursued long ago. Scottish immigrant David Gibson, a land surveyor, mapped early Toronto and helped prepare Ontario's wilderness for settlement. A participant in the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837, Gibson was forced to flee to the United States where he and his family remained for 11 years. On their return to York County the Gibsons built a beautiful new home and were once again active members of their rural community. Museum activities include education and community programs, birthday parties, summer arts and heritage day camps, Doors Open Toronto, evening events including storytelling and holiday celebrations and guided explorations of the museum with friendly and knowledgeable staff.
