KHS Field Trip:October 5th, 2002
Sir Andrew and Lady Burns cordially received 31 KHS members at Earnscliff in Ottawa. After being given an extensive history of Earnscliff (which was built by Thomas MacKay who also constructed Rideau Hall), Lady Sarah gave us a tour through the house. The grounds and view of the Ottawa River and the Gatineau Hills are spectacular.
KHS Field TripOctober 5th, 2002
Following lunch at the National Art Gallery, we ventured into the Gatineau Hills to Kingsmere and were received at "The Farm" by one of Peter Milliken's staff, Harry Rideout. "The Farm," as William Lyon Mackenzie King called it, was built in the late 1800s. It was King's residence and today it is the residence of the Speaker of the House of Commons. The informative tour was superb
