Jonathan Baker House and Cottage

Built in 1853, this house is of rare, horizontal plank construction, an uncommon method of construction. The Baker family were early settlers in Vaughan. They were also considered to be maple syrup pioneers (read some of their history here). During Doors Open, tour the house, the cottage and sugar shack to learn more. Part of Sugarbush Heritage Park.
