Childhood home of General James Wolfe, victor of the Battle of Quebec (1759)
We’ve been looking after the place for you whilst you were away, but we’re delighted to be able to welcome you back. There have been a few changes as the pandemic has affected the way we’re able to do things. Please read this article carefully so that you know what to expect before booking.
Explore this fascinating house, the childhood home of General James Wolfe. Discover the dramatic battle that won dominance in North America and claimed the territories of New France, that would later become Canada, for the British. Also learn of Wolfe's tragic death, in our exhibition above the Coach House.
Travel back in time and see the house as it appeared in the 1730s when James Wolfe and his family lived here. Fall asleep on our replica 18th-century bed, or take your chances with Mrs Wolfe’s ‘cure for consumption’ in the kitchen.
Quebec House, gardens and second-hand bookshop are open from the 23rd June. Due to ongoing restrictions the house has a limited offer. Please see our 'What to expect' article to find out what's open and how to book tickets.
