Homer Watson was a prominent landscape painter and you can view his works at the Homer Watson House & Gallery. He was known as the artist “who first saw Canada as Canada”. The Gallery celebrates Watson’s creative spirit by stimulating the appreciation and enjoyment of the visual arts. Built in nearby Baden in 1877 and painstakingly restored by the Wilmot Township and local heritage groups, the grand mansion of Castle Kilbride displays artifacts from the Victorian Era.
