Joseph Schneider Haus Museum and Gallery, Kitchener (must see)

Joseph Schneider Haus Museum and Gallery is another prominent landmark in downtown Kitchener. This local sight is the oldest existing dwelling in Kitchener, established in 1816 by Joseph Schneider, one of the region's primary pioneers and a Pennsylvania German immigrant. This Georgian farmhouse was restored and furnished according to the original period and since 1981 it houses a living history museum. Its collection includes significant artifacts from areas of Germanic settlement across Canada, old furniture, household items, decorations and other fine objects from that period.
