The Backus-Page House Museum near Wallacetown, Ontario is located within the grounds of the John E. Pearce Provincial Park, situated within a restored Georgian style house which was constructed in 1850. 
The house was commissioned by Andrew and Mary Jane Backus. The Backus family was one of several families that had obtained land from Colonel Thomas Talbot and settled in the area which quickly came to be known as Little Ireland (a namesake due to the Irish ancestry of the settlers).  The property that Andrew built his house on was given to him by his grandmother, Mary Storey, who received her original land grant in 1809.
