Description
Inside Hamilton’s Museums helps to satisfy a growing curiosity about Canada’s steel capital as it evolves into a post-industrial city and cultural destination. In this special excerpt we visit Erland Lee Museum, which stands as an excellent example of Ontario Gothic Revival architecture and serves as the birthplace of the Women's Institute movement. John Goddard takes us on a detailed tour of the historic home, providing fascinating historical background and insight.
