Last Saturday, I visited the Hiliary House. It's my second visit. I can see that they have done a lot of upgrades . A nice place to visit if you like to know more about the life of a doctor in the early 1900 .

I came all the way from Toronto to visit and don't regret it, not just because it includes a lot of very interesting artifacts, mainly from the 19th century, but mainly because of the lovely and informative museum guide, Kathleen, who never rushed me through the exhibits even though I read almost everything.
