Nationally designated for its magnificent interior, Annandale House serves as a monument to the style of design known as the “Aesthetic Art Movement”. From the extravagant hand-painted ceilings and elaborate inlaid floors to ornate fireplace mantles and stained glass, Annandale truly combines the best of what the Aesthetes professed. Built in the 1880’s by E.D Tillson, the home is a visual experience you won’t soon forget. Decorated for the holidays season, the home is particularly beautiful around Christmas time. This accessible facility is also home to the Tillsonburg Museum. Programs, guided tours and picnic areas available.

Experience 19th and 20th century rural and town life. The Norwich area was home to a peaceful Quaker community who befriended fleeing Blacks during the Underground Railroad.

And while you’re here, research genealogical and local history at the archives next door. Did you know that Herbert Hoover’s mother was a Quaker born in this community?
