Another landmark would be The Erland Lee Museum, which is the site of the first Women's Institute in the world. The main building was built by John Lee, the son of James Lee, a British ex-service man. James and his family imigrated to Saltfleet township (Stoney Creek) as loyalists in the 1790's. In 1972 Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario purchased the Lee home, preserving the vintage home as an important historic memorial to the Institutes beginnings and to a vanished middle class rural Victorian lifestyle.
