★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The tour was great, our guide Virginia as well. It was not easy to find the gift shop entrance, it seemed to be closed and it was not. There is pilot project going on - if you have Hamilton Public Library card you don't have to pay ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Canadian National Historic Site. Keep an eye out for free museum tours. It's a very old house and they're trying their best to preserve it. Be careful not to touch the walls.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There is a lot of neat history here!
In 1813 3,000 US troops tried to invade Upper Canada and set-up camp. In return, 700 British Regulars left their encampment in Burlington Heights to attack the enemy. While both sides suffered great losses, the Americans were ultimately defeated and withdrew. This particular battle is credited with saving Upper Canada from being overrun in 1813.
Located within the park is the Battlefield House, The Battlefield Monument, The Nash-Jackson House, as well as the Battlefield Cemetery.
The grounds are surrounded by beautiful gardens and plenty of green space.
Annually, a reenactment of the battle takes place nearby - which is a draw for both tourists and locals.
Perfect for summer evening strolls, picnics and even photography.
This is a great and important part of Hamilton & Canada's history and a site not to be missed.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lots of greenery.
The tower is cool to see and you'll see some wedding parties taking photos .
There's a public washroom and two covered pavilions with lots of grass areas for picnicking.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The museum is closed because of construction. The city has decided to no longer host the annual re-enactment and apparently plans to "decolonize" the information presented.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful grounds and a very historical place to explore. There is parking on site and it is generally wheelchair friendly. I highly suggest checking out the Battle of Stoney Creek reenactment in early June.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very unique and historical reinactment. I enjoyed the atmosphere here. The actors did a great job but they could of been a bit more real in taking a hit. For the first 30 mins of the battle not even one actor got shot. Everyone was a avenger soldier lol. Very good food and set up. Will come back again !
