The Erland Lee (Museum) Home is the birthplace of the Women's Institutes in 1897. The home was first built in 1808 by John Lee who was the son of a British serviceman. John's father, James Lee, emigrated to Saltfleet Township (now Stoney Creek) as a Loyalist after the American Revolution in the 1790s. The house was the home of the Lee' family until 1972 when it was purchased by the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario, at which time the exterior and the 1873 additions were restored to their 1897 beauty. This historic house is a memorial to the Lee family's role in the founding of the Women's Institutes, and to a vanished middle-class rural Victorian lifestyle.
