Description and Basic Information ::
|
 See history come alive at Campbell House. Built in 1822, this museum is housed in the oldest remaining building from the original town of York. It is a classic example of Georgian architecture, a rare find in the Toronto area.
William Campbell, who lived here with his wife Hannah, was a well known public figure, and led a distinguished career as a lawyer and then Attorney-General of Cape Breton. After moving to York, he became a judge who was very involved in politics, law, the economy and the town’s administration. After his retirement in 1829, he was knighted at the age of 71 in recognition of his public spirit. |
