Benares Historic House

19th-century estate house museum in Mississauga

Benares Historic House preserves a 19th-century estate associated with the Harris and Sayers families, showing domestic life in what is now suburban Mississauga. Its furnished rooms and grounds make the city's pre-suburban history easier to picture.

The house is most useful for travelers exploring the Clarkson and Port Credit side of Mississauga, or anyone interested in local Ontario history. It is a compact visit, better paired with nearby parks or waterfront stops than treated as a full-day museum.
