Councillor Ward 11
The City of Mississauga spent $117,000 to install gas and sewer lines and another $300,000 in infrastructure funding was provided by the Ontario Government. The newly renovated Leslie Log House features a climate-controlled space for the preservation of artifacts, space for research, and room for exhibits and meetings. The property is situated on part of the old Pinchin Farm and has rare apple trees such as Red Gravenstein and Talman Sweet, which exist nowhere else in Canada. The Leslie Log House was built in 1826 by John Leslie, who later moved to Toronto. To prevent it from being demolished, in 1994, the house was moved from its original location on the bank of the Mullet Creek, at Winston Churchill Boulevard and Derry Road, to its current location near Mississauga Road and Eglinton Avenue. For info on the Leslie Log House or our other City heritage museum properties, please visit www.museumsofmississauga.com.
