The Brown Homestead was settled by United Empire Loyalists in the 1780s and ran as a family farm for almost 200 years. Explore our historic site, be inspired by heritage craft demonstrations, learn through hands-on activities and view two new community exhibits. Grab lunch or a snack from Char in the Kitchen and spend time enjoying our pastoral setting.
The Brown Homestead is the site of the oldest house in St. Catharines. They are currently undergoing restoration work and are on their way to becoming an important cultural centre, a site for innovation, education, community connection and heritage advocacy. While that work is happening, however, feel free to explore the site through some excellent videos, including one about The Norton Cabin, The Ballroom, The Victory Garden, The Dining Room and The Summer Kitchen, as well as an informative series on heritage masonry, heritage carpentry, historical mapping and some oral history. For Digital Doors Open, visit the video below for an introduction to the site. Enjoy!
