Lonely Planet review for Gibson House

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 11am and 3pm, 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.
