Small but charming, this house has big stories to share. Quebec House is the childhood home of the hero General James Wolfe, the victor of the Battle of Quebec in 1759. It gives a glimpse into family life in the 1730's and you can now have a go at some of the pastimes Wolfe and his family would have enjoyed. These include writing with a quill, watching re-enactors on selected days and children hav
e the chance to complete an activity trail. Our Georgian kitchen allows us to recreate some of the food General Wolfe would have eaten as a boy, including lemon drops and potato pudding. Mrs Wolfe's unique recipe book is available in the coach house to buy. In our exhibition above the coach house you can relive the dramatic battle that won America but tragically ended in General Wolfe's death. This is the place where you can really travel back in time. Be sure to check our events on our page and on our website so you make the most of your experience at Quebec House!
