Tue, 21 Apr 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Lynde House is the oldest home in Durham Region. It was originally located on a 200-acre farm beside Lynde Creek, on Dundas Street in Whitby. The house is built in the Georgian style.

Jabez Lynde (1773-1856) immigrated from Massachusetts, first with his father-in-law, Hawkins Woodruff, in 1799, to secure land in Upper Canada, and then permanently with his wife, Clarissa Woodruff Lynde (1774-1830), in 1803. The Lyndes were among the first settlers to the area. They raised eight children in the house – Sylvester, Hawkins, Clarissa, Louisa, Carleton, Araminta, Warner, and Elmina. Members of the family lived there until 1893.

Following the tour, you can visit the Warren General Store and find unique gift ideas to purchase.
