The Homer Watson House & Gallery is the homestead of Homer Watson, Canada's first noted landscape artist (1855-1936). The Gallery, constructed in 1906, is one of the oldest operating galleries in the Province of Ontario. Watson's early Victorian house was also the home of the renowned Doon School of Fine Arts during the 1950's and 60's and drew such artists as Fred Varley and Carl Schaefer. In 1955, the Homer Watson house was officially recognized by National Historic Sites and Monuments of Canada. In 1980, the house and surrounding three acre property were designated under the Ontario Heritage Act as being of architectural and historic significance. Today the Gallery operates as a thriving visual arts centre where the community is encouraged to develop, discover, and enjoy visual arts through changing exhibits, educational programs, special events and workshops.
