In June of 1995 it opened as a public museum and is now owned and operated by the City of Mississauga's community services department, said Scott Gillies, Marketing and Fundraising Co-ordinator for the City of Mississauga.

"It's been fully furnished and restored to the 1918 time period with original family possessions, also donated by the family," said Gillies, adding the museum receives about 20,000 visitors a year.

On Sunday, Benares will host an old-fashioned strawberry social, the annual Cloverleaf Garden Club Flower Show, and guests can enjoy a horse and buggy ride with Queen Victoria.

Everyone is welcome to attend the free event, which runs from 1-4 p.m.

Gillies said that, in addition to being the prominent Clarkson family's ancestral home, Benares also is connected to the literary world through Canadian author Mazo de la Roche.

The fictional family in the award-winning novel is loosely based on the Harrises, Gillies said.

"In 1927, Mazo told her publisher that there was a house in Clarkson that partially inspired her novel and she sent a photo of Benares for the design of the book cover," said Gillies.

"No one wants to fess up to whose it is," said Museums Of Mississauga marketing co-ordinator Scott Gillies, with a chuckle.

Gillies said Benares' family patriarch Arthur Harris and his wife exchanged silver pens as a 25th wedding anniversary present.

"The movie was sort of hidden in the mystery of time," said Scott Gillies, marketing and fundraising coordinator for the Museums.

Marketing and Fundraising Co-ordinator Scott Gillies from the Museums of Mississauga hopes the sale of Santa photos will raise as much as $5,000 for the "Save The Port Credit Log Cabin" fund.
