The Bishop home, at 948 Third Avenue West in Owen Sound was where Billy Bishop was born and raised during the late 19th and into the early 20th century. The house was was dedicated as a Museum in 1987 in memory of Air Marshal William Avery Bishop, VC, CB, DSO and Bar, MC, DFC, and others whose contribution served to protect our freedom. In September 2003, The Billy Bishop Heritage Museum became the first National Historic Site in Grey County and Owen Sound.

Upon entering the 21st Century, the home remains a testament to the humble beginnings of a national World War I aviation hero, his contributions to Aviation and the sacrifices of others for their Country. The artifacts and exhibits displayed are an important part of our history that preserves the heroism of Billy Bishop and other military personnel.
