In 1830, Lewis and Elizabeth Bradley built this small saltbox style farmhouse for their family, which included seven children. It has been lovingly restored to reveal the everyday life of early settlers in Ontario. Also on the grounds is The Anchorage, an Ontario Regency style cottage which served as the retirement home of John Skynner, a Royal Navy officer. The house was originally located on the shores of Lake Ontario and was moved to the Bradley Museum grounds in the mid 1970s. It houses changing exhibits and has a Sunday afternoon tea room.
