Fulford Place Museum, Brockville, Ontario | WPBS Short Flix
“Pink Pills for Pale People” helped construct this grand mansion. The Fulford Place Mansion in Brockville, Ontario, was built in 1901 for Senator George T. Fulford. Fulford made his fortune selling “pink pills for pale people” and at one time, was the richest man on the river. He was one of the first people to use testimonials in advertising, which became a very successful technique.
The stone for the mansion came from a quarry at Gouverneur, New York, just across the border. Inside, the house features intricately carved woodwork, all fashioned by hand.
In 1905, George Fulford became the first Canadian ever, to die in an automobile accident. His son, George the second, was only three years old at the time. George the second died in 1987. George the second donated the house to the Ontario Heritage Foundation, and his son, George the third, donated all the contents of the house.
Today, this 35-room mansion is owned and operated by the Ontario Heritage Trust and is open for tours. Original furniture, china, silverware, paintings and more are showcased throughout the house. When you come to visit, you’ll see what this house was like in 1901.

Driving around Brockville, Ontario - Canada
Brockville, formerly Elizabethtown, is a city in Eastern Ontario, Canada in the Thousand Islands region. Although it is the seat of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, it is politically independent of the county. It is included with Leeds and Grenville for census purposes only.
Known as the City of the 1000 Islands, Brockville is located on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River, about halfway between Kingston to the west and Cornwall to the east. It is 115 km (71 mi) south of the national capital Ottawa.
The city faces Morristown, New York, which is located on the other side of the river. It is one of Ontario's oldest communities first established by Euro-Canadians and is named after the British general Sir Isaac Brock.
The city notably features the Brockville Tunnel, Canada's first railway tunnel, finished in December 1860, and closed in 1970. It was acquired by the City of Brockville in 1982, and the tunnel reopened in August 2017 as an LED illuminated pedestrian tunnel with music. Alongside the Fulford Place and the Aquatarium, it has since become one of the most famous tourist attractions in the city, and even all of Ontario.
