Wilberforce Red Cross Outpost – National Historic Site of Canada – is the site of the first Outpost Hospital in Ontario. Opened in 1922 in response to a serious lack of medical care in the area, it ran right up until 1967 when it was no longer needed.

In 1991, it was leased to the Wilberforce Heritage Guild with the understanding that it was to get restored as a museum committed to the individuals who worked so hard for making Ontario’s first Red Cross Outpost Hospital a reality.
