Homer Watson House & Gallery
In 1855 Homer Watson, one of Canada's first internationally recognized artists, was born in the village of Upper Doon, in a small house still standing at the corner of Tilt Drive and Doon Village Road. The young Watson developed his skills in drawing and painting at an early age and learned how to describe the world around him in sketches and in finished oils. Today, the home of this illustrious man is open to the public and here, one can experience the vision of this great Canadian artist.
