Proctor House

Brighton, ON

Proctor House Museum.jpg

Tour this mid 1800’s home to see how the area’s early settlers lived!
From the Proctor House website: This area began, as did most of Ontario, as a wild and wooded region, best traveled by water. The first known settler in the Brighton area arrived in 1796; a gentleman named Obediah Simpson. By 1831 there were 19 official families in the area, as well as a number of unregistered settlers. By 1851 there were 500 people and 10 mills in Brighton. As did most small towns of the area, Brighton reached its peak in population and prosperity between 1830 and 1875. Each of the settler families had their own specialty and their own importance to the community. Since our subject is Proctor House we try to concentrate on that particular family, but you will find references to many of the others who helped to build the town of Brighton


Also on the property - The Proctor Simpson barn, and the Proctor House Theatre! Visit BrightonBarnTheatre.ca  to find out more.
