The Erland Lee Museum Home
The Erland Lee Museum Home is a National Historic Site of Canada and home of the world's first Women's Institutes branch. Built in 1808 as a simple log cabin, the building was renovated over the years and owned by the Lee family until 1972.
In 1972, the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario (FWIO) purchased the Lee family home. FWIO wanted to preserve the vintage home as a memorial to the birthplace of the Women's Institutes (WI), and feature the vanished, middle-class, rural Victorian lifestyle. It opened as the Erland Lee Museum the same year, with the exterior and the 1873 additions restored to their 1897 beauty.
The Erland Lee Museum Home strives to serve its community through family-friendly events & programs and through educational and entertaining workshops through the year. We are regularly open January through December for guided tours of the home and self-guided tours of the 1873 Carriage House and grounds.
