Gibson House

Toronto, Canada

Gibson House

Built in 1851, Gibson House was the home of Scottish immigrant David Gibson and his family. He was a land surveyor who helped map early Toronto. Wanted by the government for participating in the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837, Gibson was forced to flee to the United States where he and his family re

mained for 11 years. On their return to York County, the Gibsons built this beautiful home and once again became active members of their rural community. This elegant farmhouse has a serene Georgian-style exterior, period furnishings in the interior and staff in period costumes.
