À propos
From Homestead to Museum…
Marie Ireland passed away in 1985. Two years later, the City of Burlington purchased the property from her estate. In 1990, after three years of planning, organizing and fundraising, Phase I of the Ireland House Restoration Project began.
Spanning 1990-91, Phase I saw major restoration work completed on the interior of the House. The following year, Phase II began with a focus on restoring the House’s exterior and outbuildings. This Phase also saw the construction of the Museum’s Interpretive Centre.
Following these major Phases in the early 90s, subsequent work has been regularly undertaken in order to maintain the House’s structural and aesthetic integrity. Additionally, work has also been undertaken in order to update how the House is interpreted for our visitors.
Take a look at some of the restoration projects that transformed the Ireland House from a homestead to a Museum!
