Loyalist House
The former home of the Merritt family, wealthy Loyalist merchants, this imposing Georgian structure was built in 1817 and, as one of the few survivors of the great fire of 1877, is a designated National Historic Site. It is furnished with authentic period pieces, including a working piano organ and the original kitchen equipment. Visitors can explore on their own or join a guided tour, and visits may be possible by appointment during the closed season.
