Rose House Museum
Rose House has survived since the early 1800s with few alterations, inhabited by five generations of the Rose family. Peter Rose arrived in Prince Edward County among the first Marysburgh settlers, made up largely of United Empire Loyalists and Hessian (German) soldiers who had fought for the British in the American Revolution. According to belief, Rose House is constructed from the salvaged timber from the community’s original Lutheran Church. Peter and his wife, Christina Bongard, raised a large family in this modest farmhouse.
