A	Alex Jones on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ [just posted photos separately] I'd suggest all to book the tour, it's free (pls donate), and the lady was very good! We were only one family of 4, but she still did a nice tour and explain everything! Now, the important point, this house felt like mildly haunted. I didn't feel anything sold (like I did in the old house in Bronte Creek Provincial Park, which is a proven haunted house). However, several indications were there in this old house as well: a. The old lady portrait, her eyes were too vivid, it felt like she was watching, and she was not happy that someone disturbed the house b. The was given to Ontario to preserve as a museum, no one is living there for the last 50+ years c. Darkness under the house, you can see it, and you can feel it, there's something hiding there d. Basement, cold room, the floor is not finished, and if you look carefully, you will see some prints e. Player Piano, not sure if it plays itself at midnight, didn't stay that long to figure out Anyway, Halloween is here, good to go there and take a look, share if you can find more proofs. BTW, if you have weak heart, and too scared to watch scary movies, think twice before going there! :)
B	Brian S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The house is actually cool. Have to come back here when there aren't any events so I can a real guided tour. Everyone was really nice. Look for events here. And when youre in the house... Play the piano. Just do it. ?
C	Carbon Lilies on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were lucky to walk in just as a tour was starting out so we joined up. The guide was not only knowledgeable about the area but also enthusiastic about the family. It made the trip around the house fun. A great piece of local history.
K	K T on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place had a very informative tour. I recommend it - I learned about Dr. Dixie, a doctor that practiced locally and after which was named Dixie Road. One comment: I just wish you could donate actual physical money instead of doing it electronically, post-tour, as seniors are not great with such things and forget about it once you leave the property -- not to mention, they aren't always tech savvy. A good ol' donation box would be a great thing to have for a good ol' historic property.
M	Mehak Yawar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must place to visit in mississauga. Never knew mississauga is rich with history until my sister took me here you will feel like you are in one of old hollywood movies. Its really gorgeous in fall to be around here and learnt interesting history about the family and house architecture.
L	Laura Kassym on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I really enjoy the excursion there. Carolina provided for us detailed information about past of Erindale area and family who owned the house. I highly recommend to visit the Benares Historic House.
K	Kunal Nagar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely loved the tour and the house. The tour guide was really informative and seemed to have a lot of knowledge about the house. Would highly recommend visiting if you like history and are fascinated by people living in the early 1900s.
