| For
more than two centuries, McFarland house has stood as a monument to the impeccable
manners, good taste and gracious living that epitomizes Niagara-on-the-Lake. Restored
by the Niagara Parks Commission in 1959, the house is furnished in the Empire
period with a cut off date of 1840. The garden at McFarland House is illustrative
of a typical mid 19th century door yard garden, although land use changes over
the last hundred years has allowed the original location of the garden to be lost.
Gardens located in the door yard (defined as that area near the house typically
between the house and the barn where daily chores took place) were typically used
as kitchen gardens and to some extent ornamental. McFarland House thanks the Garden
Club of Niagara for their planning and upkeep of the garden. Come
and experience a taste of 1840's Georgian style and pace. Explore the period herb
garden. Sample fine refreshments, home baking or sip a glass of Niagara wine at
the McFarland Tea Garden. Relax and enjoy. Admission:
