Nelles Manor Museum

Nelles Manor Museum Nelles Manor Museum is a 1798 heritage home and War of 1812 battlefield site. Our Story:
Nelles Manor is a historical gem in the heart of Grimsby and Niagara.

It is rare piece of Canadian heritage. A family home for over two centuries, the Manor has been often viewed from afar. In 2016, owners and restorers the Coutts generously donated their home and grounds, to the people of Grimsby and Ontario as Nelles Manor Museum. An independent charitable, non-profit corporation - Nelles Manor Heritage House - was created to oversee it. In 2026 we are celebrating

our 10th anniversary! Nelles Manor Museum is open to visitors through tours and many heritage and cultural events. The Nelles name is familiar to those who live in the Grimsby area, as they were one of the founding families to settle in this part of Upper Canada during the late 18th century. Colonel Robert Nelles built this gorgeous Georgian-style home and resided there with his large family until his death in 1842. The house has passed through four successive generations of Nelles descendants, and remains standing today as a testament to Robert's wisdom and perseverance through an ambitious colonial beginning. The rest of the story is told by the house itself... you'll have to come visit in person and see what it has to offer. Our admission is by donation. Friends of Nelles Manor - FREE
