Lynde House Museum and Warren General Store

Lynde House, built c. 1812, is Durham Region’s oldest home. It served as a tavern during the War of 1812 and has moved locations twice. Today, it is a museum run by the Whitby Historical Society. Next door, the Warren General Store offers local crafts, treats and historical displays — including Camp X artifacts — celebrating Whitby’s rich heritage and early settlers.

This house was built around 1812 for Jabez Lynde, an early Whitby pioneer. It is a rare example of the Georgian or Loyalist architectural style. It has been a museum since 1972 and was moved to its current location in 2014. Enjoy the digital tour below and learn more about the history of this site.
