Hutchison House

Hutchison House is one of the oldest limestone houses in Peterborough. It was built by the community in 1837 for Dr. John Hutchison, the city’s first resident physician. This was also the first home in Upper Canada for inventor and engineer Sir Sandford Fleming. The house was restored and opened as Hutchison House Museum in 1978.
