Griffin House is a national historic site located in Ancaster, part of Hamilton. Built in the 1820s, it was home to Enerals Griffin, an African-American freedom seeker who escaped enslavement in the United States and settled in Upper Canada. Today, the house serves as a museum dedicated to Black Canadian history and the legacy of the Underground Railroad. Visitors can learn about resilience, community, and the fight for freedom while exploring the restored farmhouse and its surrounding conservation area.
