War & Peace: Songs and Monologues by Rhapsodius at McCrae House was really well done - through advocacy, thought-provoking creativity and musical talent Rhapsodius shares his findings on big questions.

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.

First visit today to the John McCrae House museum in Guelph, Ontario. It's a wonderful memorial to a man whose words, penned more than 107 years ago, still resonate today and remind us why we need to never forget the conflicts of the past and heavy prices paid in shedded blood and tears. Thank you for making this monument to this famous surgeon. May he ever rest in peace.

Ive always loved this quiet, quaint, pretty memorial park and house- it's John McMcraes actually birthplace. I particularly love the large bronzed book of the poem "In Flanders Fields" featured in the park. You can purchase poppies in spring to plant in your own garden. Lots of street parking and the beautiful river walking trail is across the road. Easy walk or drive for an icecream at the Boathouse, or a bit farther for restaurants. Down the hill from the University of Guelph.

Small, but fantastic museum in the birthplace of John McCrae. In addition to personal artifacts, the exhibits give more information about McCrae's life besides his time in WWI. I especially enjoyed his sketchbooks. The memorial garden is also lovely to spend some time in.

Always a wonderful experience touring the museum and experiencing afternoon tea. The gorl who does the tea is so sweet and very kind. And the gentleman who runs the museum inside is always great!

Small house that was home of doctor mcCrae. Has photos and memorabilia of his life and time in the army during first world war.

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!

Beautiful little location. I had no idea McCrae was from Guelph.

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.

DO THIS! A small but poignant piece of history that means so much to so many and turns 'the guy who wrote the poppy poem' into a caring, intelligent, tenacious, adventurous human being. Thank you to Heather and Tia, a warm welcome and a wonderful afternoon tea in the quiet garden. A much needed step back in time and a break from the bustle of the day.

Worth taking a quick look at the birthplace of this patriot whose poem inspired the creation of the poppy symbol

The afternoon tea was so lovely! All the staff, from the man at reception to the two girls who served us were so sweet and made our experience special. The scones and tea were super delicious too! Highly recommended

We loved going to the McCrea house! It was full of history, posters, and artifacts. The staff were really nice, friendly, and chatty. We loved seeing the militia uniforms, and the diary’s of John McCrea. It was really interesting to learn about how, where, why, and when he wrote the poem In Flanders Fields.

It was great to be there on Remembrance Day. The exhibit of McCrae's life is well done.
