Dundurn National Historic Site: Known as Dundurn Castle, this 40-room Italianate-style villa was built in the 1830s on Burlington Heights, also the site of a fortified military encampment established by the British during the War of 1812. It was home to Sir Allan Napier MacNab, railway magnate, lawyer and Premier of the United Canadas from 1854 to 1856. Today Dundurn Castle tells the story of the MacNab family and the servants who lived and worked at the house. Visitors are invited to experience a guided tour of the home with a costumed interpreter, explore the lovingly restored two-acre Historic Kitchen Garden, and discover The Hamilton Military Museum – free with admission to Dundurn Castle.
