Description From Owner:

Pop. 360. In Haldimand T., Northumberland C., on C. Rd. 2 near L. Ontario, 12 km E of Cobourg. The hamlet was settled by United Empire Loyalists from Vermont and Massachusetts around 1798.
It was called Newcastle when the post office opened in 1814. In 1832 the name was changed to Haldimand, and in 1858 it was changed again to Grafton after a town in Massachusetts.
During the War of 1812, the home of the fIrst settler, Eliakim Barnum, was accidentally burned by British troops.
Barnum rebuilt his house on the same site and today the building, now a museum, is one of Ontario's finest remaining examples of Loyalist-style architecture.
