Brubacher House is a historic house museum located in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. It allows visitors to explore the everyday life of Pennsylvania German Mennonite settlers in Waterloo County from 1850 to 1890.[1][2] The farmhouse is located on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee Peoples.[2][3]
Following its construction in 1850, the family of John E. Brubacher and Magdalena (Musselman) Brubacher resided in the home. In 1965, the University of Waterloo purchased Brubacher House. After substantial restorations, the farmhouse opened to the public as a museum in 1979.[1]
