About Us
Historic Bovaird House is an exceptional example of a mid-19th century Ontario farmhouse, built in the “Georgian” style. The hallmark of Georgian architecture is symmetry and proportion; these characteristics are evident on both the exterior and interior of the home, where windows, fireplaces, and rooms are evenly matched to create a visual balance pleasing to the eye.
In 200 years, the Bovaird House property has seen many changes. From acres of rural farmland to massive urban sprawl, Brampton has grown from a village to a thriving city.
Historic Bovaird House and Carriage House Gift Shop are open yearly from mid-February to mid-December
