Hamilton has a well preserved and rich history, with numerous museums and historical homes. The Dundurn Castle is a restored classic Regency style villa providing a glimpse into the lives of a typical 1850’s Victorian family. Another historic urban estate is Whitehern, which is a blend between Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian styles, honoring the McQuesten family.
