Battlefield House

Since 1796, the Gage family lived in what is now referred to as ‘Battlefield House’ and became a strong voice in the hamlet of Stoney Creek. The family house was a community hub for farmers, itinerant preachers and Indigenous peoples who came to meet and trade at James Gage’s store.

Considered a turning point in the War of 1812, the Battle of Stoney Creek raged all around the Gage family homestead. The 100-foot-high Battlefield Monument stands as a symbol of peace and commemorates those soldiers who died on June 6, 1813.
