Lonely Planet review

Scottish immigrant David Gibson, a successful surveyor and politician, built this refined Georgian-style house in 1851 after his return from an 11-year exile in the USA, the unfortunate result of his role in the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837. Costumed workers run house tours between and , as well as occasional weekend hearth cooking demonstrations.

Gibson House is north of Sheppard Ave, next to a small park. If you're driving, limited parking is accessible via a small laneway off southbound Yonge St.
