About Ainsley House

The Ainsley House is Campbell's historic house museum, styled after an English Tudor Cotswold cottage in the Arts and Crafts tradition. Built in 1925, it was the third home of canning pioneer John Colpitts Ainsley and his wife Alcinda. The house was moved from its original corner site to Grant Street in 1990 after the Ainsley family donated it to the city. The house and its carriage house were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Guided tours last about 45 minutes, and the museum is operated by the City of Campbell.
