Knaut-Rhuland House Museum
Knaut-Rhuland House
An 1793 Georgian timber house with 18th- and 19th-century furnishings, a small museum that illuminates the lives of Lunenburg's early settlers.
The Knaut-Rhuland House was built in 1793 and is one of the best-preserved 18th-century Georgian timber houses in Lunenburg. It is designated a National Historic Site of Canada. Managed by the Lunenburg Heritage Society, the house is furnished as it would have looked in the early 19th century, and costumed guides explain the lives of German Protestant settlers, their building techniques and the planning of the old town. It is small, and you can see it in half an hour. Located on Pelham Street in the old town, it is open in summer, and admission is inexpensive.
