Gibson House, Toronto, ON, Canada
Surveyor, farmer, politician, and rebel—David Gibson was a man of diverse skills. During the 1837 Upper Canada Rebellion, his attempts at peacemaking led to him being branded a traitor. His house was burned down, leading him to seek refuge in America. In 1848, following his pardon in 1843, Gibson came back to restore his home and life.
His former home is now the Gibson House Museum, allowing you to immerse yourself into the 19th-century life, including farming, gardening and cooking. The museum, located in a park with an orchard, starkly contrasts with the surrounding urban development of Yonge Street, reflecting Gibson's impact on Toronto and North York's growth.
