HURON HISTORIC GAOL, is a unique and imposing octagonal building which served as the County Jail from its first prisoner in 1841 until 1972 when all inmates were transferred to regional facilities. The Gaol is a designated National Historic Site. The building originally housed the County Courts and Council Chambers, as well as serving as Gaol and House of Refuge. The Gaol’s architect was Thomas Young, and at the time of construction was viewed as a model of humanitarian prison design.

The Governor’s House was built in 1901 in the area of one of the courtyards, and illustrates the important status of this position within a rural Ontario community in the early part of this century. Visitors find this site a special place to explore and truly a step back in time.

MENESETUNG BRIDGE, In 1990, a group of local citizens came together to stave off demolition of the C.P.R. railway bridge over the Maitland River. The structure, the longest of its kind when built in 1907, was last used by the C.P.R. as a rail line in 1988 and now forms part of the G.A.R.T. - the Goderich to Auburn Rail Trail. The refurbishing of the structure was financed to a large extent by sponsors whose names are inscribed on planks and railings.

This bridge will serve as a dramatic western terminus for the Goderich to Guelph trail which is currently under development.

Looking west from the bridge, visitors have unobstructed views of the harbour, the mine, and Lake Huron. To the east lie magnificent views of the Maitland River Valley. Such vistas make the bridge one of the most frequently visited sites in the area as nearly 15 000 hikers, runners, walkers and fishers use the bridge on an annual basis. This monument to the area’s history and its traditions in agriculture, transportation, and industry represents the interest of local citizens who continue to preserve this impressive structure for future generations.

REUBEN R. SALLOWS GALLERY, is home to the largest public collection of this renowned photographer’s work, whose art continues to offer insight into rural Canadian lives around the turn of the twentieth century.

Sallows with two unique exhibits per year. The Gallery is located on the mezzanine level of the historic Goderich Public Library.

BALL’S BRIDGE, - THE BRIDGE THAT LOVE BUILT Ball’s Bridge was built in 1885 when a smitten engineer, working on the bridge at the mouth of the Maitland in Goderich, fell in love with one of the Ball daughters. He built Ball’s Bridge so that she would no longer have to get her feet wet when crossing the Maitland River near her home. Ball’s Bridge has been a part of the Maitland River landscape for over 125 years! Ball’s Bridge appears to retain an excellent degree of historic integrity.

Ball’s Bridge, as a two span structure, is exceptionally rare, and stands out as a significant example among Ontario’s remaining pin connected truss bridges. Even the construction of the bridge back in 1885 resulted in a marriage between the bridge engineer and a member of the Ball family. Take a drive over this bridge and witness its tranquillity.

Located 4.5 km south of Auburn on Little Lakes Rd. Just west of Baseline Road (County Rd. #8). Follow the signs.

TIGER DUNLOP’S TOMB, honours Dr. William Dunlop (1792-1848), a physician, author, woodsman, soldier, politician, raconteur -and one of Huron County’s most colourful historical figures. Born in Scotland, he served in Canada as an army surgeon during the War of 1812. His writings, including articles based on his residence in India (1817-1819), won him a place among the witty contributors to Blackwood’s Magazine with the title of “Tiger.” In 1826, Dunlop emigrated to Upper Canada. As “Warden of the Forests” for the Canada Company, he assisted John Galt in opening up the Huron Tract and in 1827 founded Goderich.

The Tiger Dunlop Heritage Trail starts behind the elevators at the Goderich Harbour. It crosses North Harbour Road to the Menesetung Bridge where there is a magnificent view of the Maitland River. Beyond the bridge, the trail continues to Tiger Dunlop’s Tomb. Informative history panels on site.

For more information, contact the Huron County Museum at 519-524-2686, [museum@ huroncounty.ca], [www.huroncounty.ca/museum]. Also visit the Maitland Trail website at: [www.maitlandtrail.ca]

LAITHWAITE LEGACY, Located 1 km east of Goderich. A farm near Goderich has fascinated visitors for four generations with its many sculptures fashioned from cement, metal, fieldstone and found materials by George Laithwaite (1873-1956).

Some of his human figures were created as satirical or political commentary on world events, while others were based on comic strip characters.

In 1945 George Laithwaite erected a stone coach house which served as his studio.

Most of his statues were created as a hobby during slow economic times.

The uniqueness and diversity of these statues has made Apple Park a local landmark.

Visitors are welcome to view the statues on three acres of lawn. Laithwaite Apple Park also offers a farm store selling seasonal products.

THE KINTAIL SCHOOL, catch a glimpse of everyday life in rural Huron County in this restored yellow-brick school house, S.S.#3 Ashfield. Former students have worked to preserve an important piece of the area’s history, restoring the building and re-creating a one-room classroom that was a centre of learning for as many as 60 students in a year.

Period desks, flags, photos, vintage readers and text books recall the days when Huron County children were taught here, from 1893 to 1954. Even the original strap is perched on the teacher’s desk. The Kintail Save the School Committee also operates a kitchen with good, country-style cooking, and runs a flea market chock full of treasures. A fundraising cookbook, Crumbs of Comfort, first produced by the Kintail Women’s Institute in 1954, holds a collection of favourite recipes.

Town native Fred Sloman and his family spent 10 months of the year in the railcar, from 1926 to 1965, in order to educate children living in remote areas of Northern Ontario bush. In 1982, the burned out shell of School Railcar 15089 was located near Toronto and began the journey to its final destination, arriving in Clinton courtesy of a Canadian National Railway freight train. Since then, it has been faithfully restored creating living history for thousands of visitors.

Colonel Van Egmond was involved with the Rebellion of 1837 in an attempt to bring responsible government to the area. He died untried in the Don jail, Toronto.

ST. JOSEPH MEMORIAL PARK & HISTORIC WALKWAY, and Historical Walkway tell the history of St. Joseph through narrative and pictorial signage.

The Park began with a request from St. André, known healer and founder of the famed Oratory of St. Joseph in Montreal. He requested that a statue honouring St. Joseph be placed in the Park. It was the early 1900’s when he took a metal pipe and pounded it into the ground where the statue now stands. The statue was placed in the Park in 1972. In August of 2011, a statue of St. Andre was erected in the park depicting St. Andre’s devotion to St. Joseph. A Provincial Plaque was also erected in St. Joseph Memorial Park honouring Narcisse Cantin (1870-1940). Narcisse had a dream to build a Great Lakes canal system, which included a canal that would have started at St. Joseph and linked Lake Huron and Lake Erie. Although this canal was never built, many others were and he has been referred to as the “Father of the St. Lawrence Seaway”. We invite you to visit St. Joseph, the city that never was. Read the many fascinating stories in the park. Located on Hwy. #21 at Cty. Rd. #84.

Brussels

Although Brussels officially became a village in 1872, it began as the village of Ainleyville in 1855. William Ainlay, a surveyor for the Canada Company, first came to the area in 1852 and felt the waterpower provided by the Maitland River and the rich, deep, untouched soil beneath the canopy of trees made the site a good one.

The village of Ainleyville, so named after Ainlay, began in the southeast part of the present day village. Brussels soon grew into a prosperous community with its own railway station, many local industries, several churches and community groups, and a main street of fine brick blocks.

Many of the commercial blocks, which presently line its main thoroughfare, Turnberry Street, were constructed after more than one devastating fire swept through the village.

We invite you to tour our quaint historic downtown and stunning residential areas. Tour brochure available.

Exeter

A leisurely stroll down Exeter’s Main Street will tell the stories of the first “entrepreneurs” who recognized the community’s retail potential; some of whom hung out their “Open For Business” signs more than a century and half ago. Many of the original 19th century buildings with their Victorian facades still remain as viable business establishments, creating a wonderful historic streetscape for Exeter’s Main Street while allowing shoppers to take a step “back in time” whenever they walk through the doors.

These stately structures are still admired and remain a legacy to their former owners who, at the end of a busy working day, called them “home”.

A “must see” on the tour is located at the corner of Main and Sanders Street in the midst of Exeter’s downtown heritage streetscape - the original Town Hall. Erected in 1887, its design and features are characteristic of an era when Victorian architecture was at its peak. Having survived a date with a wrecking ball in 1975, this grand building known to all as the Olde Town Hall, has been restored to its original splendour and remains a familiar landmark to the community as well as an enduring link to the town’s past.

Self-guided walking tour brochures are available at: Municipality of South Huron Office - Olde Town Hall: 322 Main Street (519-235-0310) South Huron Welcome Centre: 483 Main Street South (226-423-3028) Guided tours can be arranged by contacting J.

Marinas and Public Beaches

There is no match to the feeling of being at the beach and on the water. And there’s almost no match to the Lake Huron shoreline, stretching to the horizon north and south of just where you’re standing. Every season of the year there’s a reason to come to the shoreline. Plunge in, float your boat, tie up at the docks or marinas – stay and bask in the sun, savour the quit pace of the sunset and wake to the colours of the

30

sunrise that tint the sky and clouds above the bluffs along the shore.

Marina services and shoreline communities provide a warm welcome and safe harbour to boaters and beach-goers. We know it’s a shore thing…and Huron County treasures the golden sands and ever-changing colours of Lake Huron. Make a note to take time to come in fall and winter too since the shoreline is

1-888-524-8394 x3242

just as fascinating when the water pounds the shoreline with waves that create ice sculptures as the winter weather sets in.

Sunsets and sand, picnics and parties, the beaches of Lake Huron and Huron County beckon you to return regularly, every season of the year.

It’s a shore thing...

There are country truck stops, historic hotels and pubs, cafes and bistros, four-diamond dining rooms with fine table-side service. A warm and fragrant welcome awaits in dockside restaurants and tea rooms and bakeshops with sandwich bars.

Of course there are the pleasures of summer drive-ins and country kitchens that pride themselves on fresh pastry creations from pies to

butter tarts, that most Canadian treat. Sample and savour the handmade pizzas and homemade lunches that include speciallycreated cinnamon buns that are second to none.

You’ll find very special restaurants established in historic homes with gleaming woodwork and local art gracing the walls and personable service to enhance your dining experience. Make it a habit to drop by the local coffee spot and pull up a chair on the outdoor patio on the shady side

wreaths, gourds and rustic trellis creations made of twigs or steel: the variety of shops in every community will provide plenty of retail recreation. Forget the big box shopping experience. Huron County welcomes browsers and buyers alike.

Make it more than a daytrip! Plan on finding your way from pantry shops to berry farms, to boutiques specializing in organic products for everyone in the house and the house too. Silk trees and

Home décor, artisan creations, handmade soaps and comestibles of every kind will fill the trunk leave room for antiques of every size and type – architectural salvage, signs, quilts from calicos

and lamps and lighting too.

Count on finding fashions for babies to babes on the beach along with hardy outdoor gear for hikers and boaters too. Jewellery and books top the list of favourite items and don’t forget that wools and leather goods are special treats from Huron County.
