Woodside National Historic Site was the boyhood home of William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada’s tenth and longest-serving Prime Minister. This Victorian home, filled with King family heirlooms and period reproductions, is a portal to the Victorian era in Canada. Please note: facility rentals are currently not available as operations at Woodside National Historic Site are closed for the season. Operations at Woodside will open again in the fall of 2023.

Notes from "Southern Explorations In Ontario"

I visited this park for the first time a few years ago. It is rich in history. There is a house there with a cute barn. Lots of of information on the local history which is pretty cool.
