Ruthven Park was the former home of the Thompson family who owned the site from
the 1840's until 1993. Originally a country estate and working farm,
the property now consists of approximately 1,500 acres and overlooks
the banks of the Grand River, today a Canadian Heritage River. The mansion
is open to the public at scheduled hours and for pre-booked groups and
special events. The Park is open during the day.
This National Historic Site offers something for everyone including those with an
interest in history and heritage buildings, nature, scenic beauty, wildflowers,
hiking or just relaxing and enjoying peaceful surroundings.
