Gibson House Museum

Thanks for Doors Open, I have a chance to visit Gibson House Museum without paying an admission but without any tours available during that 2 days.
The «House» itself was built in 1851 is really well maintained and decorated with furniture and details of the time period. Walking through the rooms give visitors ideas of how the life over 150 years ago!
There is limited free parking on the site. Finding the actual museum though is a little tricky as it is not really located directly on Yonge Street and surrounded by condominiums.

I really was impressed with the Gibson House
WHAT IT IS
The Gibson house is basically the house where the Gibson family resided. They lived in the Willowdale area. They had 7 children. The Father was a Land surveyer and married his cousin (I think 2^nd cousin)
TOURS
They run tours at regular intervals during the day and depending on how many visitors show up. We were lucky enough to have a tour to ourselves (my family). The tour is about 45 minutes depending on how many questions you have for the tour guide.
KID ZONE
While people wait for tours, there is a kid zone and a mini gallery where kids can learn play with puzzles, weave yarn, draw pictures etc. The gallery is meant for adults where you can learn a little bit about the history of the Gibson Family.
WHAT I LIKED
1. They had a free tasting of minced meat tarts, ginger bread cookies and apple cider. They made them fresh at the location and baked them using the heat from their wood fire.(authentic!)
2. I learned that christmas trees originated from Germany and was brought to england by kind albert (who was german) and then was widespread around the world.
3. the house was magnificient and the tour guide was very knowledgeable.
