Hours of Operation
The Duff-Baby House and Interpretation Centre is open periodically for tours and events, and also by appointment. See upcoming open days at the Duff-Baby House below.
The Duff-Baby House was built in 1798 and is named for its first two owners, Alexander Duff and James Baby. It is recognized among the most significant late eighteenth-century landmarks in Upper Canada. Les Amis Duff-Baby, a local volunteer group, works with Museum Windsor to provide access to the centre, the house, and the site. Museum staff utilize this facility for public tours, community outreach programs, local heritage meetings, and other Sandwich Town community activities.
The City of Windsor is pleased to announce the public reopening of the Duff-Baby House, featuring newly installed exhibits that highlight the site’s rich history and recent restoration. Visitors are invited to explore the site through free, self-guided tours, with interpretive content available via a mobile app or printed materials onsite. The reopening marks an important milestone following restoration work and reflects a collaborative partnership between the City of Windsor, the Ontario Heritage Trust, and Les Amis Duff-Baby. These exciting and engaging exhibits bring the first floor of the house to life. Funding for the initiative has been provided by the Gordie Howe International Bridge Community Benefits Plan.
