memorial to the Institutes beginnings, and
to a vanished middle-class rural Victorian
lifestyle. It opened as the Erland Lee (Museum)
Home the same year, with the exterior and
the 1873 additions lovingly restored to
their 1897 beauty. The Erland Lee (Museum)
Home is a National Historic Site of Canada.
