Walk into the home of two of Canada's most recognizable prime ministers. This Victorian mansion, in Ottawa's downtown neighbourhood of Sandy Hill, became the home of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1897, after he became Canada’s first francophone prime minister the previous year.

William Lyon Mackenzie King became prime minister in 1921, two years after Laurier's death, and took ownership of the home as a bequest in Laurier's will. Gain rare insight into the lives of these two men as you view their personal items and artwork, and peer into the crystal ball that King is said to have used during séances.
