McCrae House

I was taught at a very young age, in my family home and throughout my years in school to recite the war memorial poem “In Flanders Fields” written by John McCrae. When I approached Mr. McCrae’s home, my heart skipped a beat and I felt tears well up in my eyes. In that moment, I felt honoured being able to visit the birthplace of someone who made history in Canada. I would recommend visiting the home of Mr. McCrae to those who appreciate Canadian history.

Lovely setting, and the garden in July is worth a visit in and of itself. McCrae here seems a little airbrushed. In this former home, I'd prefer a little less 'shrine' and a little more about who this Cape Hatteras-loving poet really was. Overall it's still impressive!

Went to their Backyard Theatre to attend an excellent presentation that memorialized WW1 soldiers while speaking truth of what a tragedy it was. Highly recommend this year's performance.
