The Brown Homestead
The Brown Homestead is a historic site featuring the John Brown House, the oldest home in St. Catharines, and the Norton Cabin, built by Mohawk chief Teyoninhokarawen (John Norton). Our organization works to preserve the site and reimagine it as a community gathering place.
We offer a range of programming, including heritage craft workshops, guided tours, garden programs, family open houses, and educational talks. We believe that historic sites reach their full potential when they are vibrant community spaces that nurture a growing passion for learning, exploration, creativity and play.
