Griffin House National Historic Site

I disliked it only because it's always closed. I wish I could see inside.

Nice an cozy house in the middle of the woods. A lady who is a park employee told us a wonderful story about history of this place.

Great historical place to visit as well as a very relaxing trail to go for a hike.

Guide made al, the difference. The house is small but the guide told great stories and was very knowledgeable,

A beautifully preserved and interpreted piece of Ancaster and Hamilton history in the context of early Black life. It will definitely open your eyes to what was happening in Canada at the time. It'll make you think about what today could have been like. It's also incredibly beautiful and peaceful in the surrounding area. A heads-up on the parking: There's a dilapidated hermitage nearby which is $10 to park, payable by credit or debit only. That's your only option unless you have a disabled permit. The grounds are not well-suited to those with mobility issues. The house is not accessible to those requiring a wheelchair. Awkward hours, so plan ahead.

Recognized as an important Canadian Black History site, the Griffin House is a preserved early 19th century home, set on a hilltop overlooking the beautiful Dundas Valley. Explore the history of Enerals Griffin and other early Black settlers, and learn about the bravery and determination of black men and women who journeyed to freedom in Southern Ontario.

This is a wonderful place to visit its so incredible its still standing .it's a great feeling knowing that they moved to Canada and had a safe place to live .

My children love going to historic places. We all loved it!

A great place to take your family for a fun way to learn adout the past. The staff where great.
