Josiah Henson Museum of African-Canadian History

Josiah Henson Museum of African-Canadian History (formerly Uncle Tom’s Cabin) is built on the site of the original property purchased in 1841 by abolitionist Josiah Henson and his supporters to establish a refuge for the many fugitives from slavery in the United States. It consists of an interpretive centre, three historic buildings, two cemeteries and numerous artifacts that were preserved as a legacy to these early pioneers.
