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’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.

MUSEUMS & ATTRACTIONS

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. During his sixty year career, his artistic skill was recognized internationally, securing him a reputation for being a “photographic genius”. Explore the rich artistic legacy of Reuben R. Sallows with two unique exhibits per year. The Gallery is located on the mezzanine level of the historic Goderich Public Library. The Reuben R. Sallows Gallery, 52 Montreal St. Goderich, Ontario, N7A 2G4 519 5255559 [sallowsgallery@huroncounty.ca], [www.sallowsgallery.ca] Open Mon-Fri 10 am to 7:30 pm and Sat. 10 to 4:30 pm. “TALKING TUESDAYS” 1 - 4 pm (VOLUNTEER ON SITE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, TOURS ETC.)

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]

MUSEUMS & ATTRACTIONS

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. Laithwaite Apple Park R.R.#2, 35563 Huron Rd( East on Hwy 8)., Goderich, Ontario, N7A 3X8 Phone: 519-524-7763

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.

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

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.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shore thing...

Ontario’s West Coast is emerging as one of Ontario’s newest wine regions. Existing tourism offerings, a history of tender fruit production, along with extensive research into the climate and soil has positioned Huron County to attract new investments in wineries.

A variety of wineries will be opening in Huron County over the next couple of years. Dark Horse Estate Winery

and stop for lunch along the way and then head for the theatres. Huron Country Playhouse and Blyth Festival offer fabulous theatre all summer long. 33 Walking is wonderful - Explore the trails in the countryside and the historic

Home tours often provide us with great ideas for our own homes. Peek behind the front doors of lovely Huron County homes and admire decor ideas. These tours are often hosted as fund raisers - a great way for everyone to participate. 25

Bike and hike - Here’s the ideal way to a healthy vacation. Get the stress out, stretch your legs and enjoy the scenery.

36 Boating and fishing rank high on the list for summer. Take the bait and

explore all the fishing spots, ponds and parks.

Back roads - Get off the highway and take advantage of Huron County’s bountiful harvest. Taste the veggies and fruits, baked goods and fill up your freezer at the “pick your own” spots along the way. 37

38 Shop until you drop - Women’s fashions, quilts, and other comforts tempt

every pocketbook. Shop early for Christmas and beat the crowds!

39 Festival fun - Get into the spirit of Huron County. Come and play at the

parties we host. Great music of all kinds, food to vanquish your hunger and fun for the whole family. 40

Camping and kids- an unbeatable combination. We have conservation areas and campgrounds for you to consider - whether you’re hauling a tent, trailer or RV. It’s hard to choose with so many sites ready to welcome you.
