Hillary House National Historic Site

As one of the best examples of Gothic Revival architecture in Canada, Hillary House has earned its status as a National Historic Site. Unique not only because of its stunning architectural features, the building also retains the majority of its original furnishings - including an extensive medical collection thanks to its past as the local doctor's office. The Aurora Historical Society (AHS) is an

independent, volunteer-led, non-profit organization dedicated to heritage education for all ages. Since 1963, the AHS has worked to preserve and promote Aurora’s local heritage by offering innovative programming, hosting unique events, and making the town’s history accessible through a wide range of exhibitions.
