This lovingly preserved Victorian home, filled with King family heirlooms and period reproductions, and set on 11.5 acres of mature forest, is a portal to the Victorian era in Canada.
SCHNEIDER HOUSE HISTORIC SITE A local landmark and Kitchener's oldest dwelling, the 1816 homestead was restored and furnished, then opened as a living history museum in 1981. The heart of the complex is a fine Georgian-frame farmhouse that was built by and was home to the area's earliest non- Aboriginal settlers, Joseph and wife Barbara Schneider, Pennsylvania-German Mennonites.
