🏰Dundurn Castle: Hamilton’s Time-Travel Escape
Spotted this gem in Little Canada miniature park—and got hooked! 😍 Turns out, Dundurn Castle was home to Sir Allan MacNab, Canada’s ex-PM. 🚨 Debunking Myths: It’s NOT just a military museum! 🛡️ The castle and museum are separate buildings in one grand park. Buy a castle ticket? Museum access = FREE FOREVER (just keep that stub!). 🎟️ 🅿️ Bonus: Free parking! 🚗 🏰 History Nerd Alert: Part of Canada’s National Historic Sites. 🇨🇦 Built 1835: Neoclassical Italianate villa. 🏛️ 🎩 Theatrical Tours: Costumed guides lead hourly tours. 👗🕰️ 42 rooms—smaller than Casa Loma, but way more intimate. 😱 Basement Shock: Servants’ quarters = labyrinth of bells! 🔔 Each ring = specific task/room. Imagine rushing to answer aristocrat whims… 🏃♀️💨 💡 Power Move: Dozens of servant bedrooms = testament to the MacNab dynasty’s wealth. 💎 #HamiltonHistory #TorontoDayTrip #CastleGoals 🌿✨
