This is your chance to experience the majestic 1,500-acre country estate that served as the Thompson family’s ancestral home for five generations. It is a 33-room Greek Revival villa built in 1845 and gives you a window into Victorian Ontario. If you want to learn more about this historic site, you can also book a tour. There is also a beautiful garden that is located on this property which is great for pictures!
