Campbell House Museum,
Queen St W, at University Avenue

Built in 1822, this museum is housed in the oldest remaining building from the original town of York. William Campbell led a distinguished career as a lawyer and then Attorney-General of Cape Breton. After moving to York, he became a judge who was very involved in politics, law, the economy and the town’s administration; after his retirement in 1829, he was knighted at the age of 71 in recognition of his public spirit.

In 1972/3, the 300-ton house was moved from its original location on Adelaide Street to University Avenue, over a period of just six hours. After careful restoration, Campbell House was officially opened to the public by the Queen Mother in 1974.
