This National Historic Site was the former home of the McQuesten Family (1852-1968) of Hamilton, Ontario. Whitehern is an outstanding example of an urban estate originally owned by a wealthy industrialist, where the home is situated behind a walled terraced garden.

The house today is filled with original family possessions of all three generations of the McQuestens over the years. It’s interesting to see elements from many time periods - Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian. Its address is 41 Jackson Street W. Take a guided tour with well-trained costumed staff and view all the principal rooms of the house as well as a depression era kitchen and bathrooms.
