Visit Homewood, a National Historic Site owned and operated by the Ontario Heritage Trust.

One of the oldest houses in Ontario, Homewood was built by Dr. Solomon Jones, a Loyalist who came to Augusta Township with his young family c.1784. He was the area's first physician and the second member from Leeds County to be elected to the Parliament of Upper Canada (1796-1800). This large two-story stone house (built in 1799-1800) reflects his aspirations and accomplishments. It remained in the Jones family for seven generations. Donated to the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1974, Homewood was restored with the help of Invista Canada (formerly Dupont Canada) and the Canadian Parks Service.
