Ermatinger–Clergue National Historic Site
A stone house built around 1814 by a fur trader, one of the oldest surviving stone buildings in northern Ontario.
The core of the Ermatinger–Clergue National Historic Site is a stone house built around 1814 by fur trader Charles Ermatinger and his Ojibwe wife. It is one of the oldest surviving stone buildings in northern Ontario. The interior is furnished as it would have been in the early 19th century, and in summer costumed guides demonstrate traditional cooking. Next door, Clergue House introduces the influence of the industrialist Clergue on the city's industrial development. Admission is inexpensive, a visit takes about an hour, and it is a few minutes' walk from the Bush Plane Heritage Centre.
