The History of Huron County

Ontario’s West Coast is more than a lakeside playground. Yes, it is true visitors return to this coastal region to revel in Huron County’s beautiful beaches, shop in its charming businesses, commune with nature, get active in recreation and pamper themselves with fine dining and accommodation. But it’s also true Ontario’s West Coast is the perfect location to travel back in time, visit some of Canada’s most fascinating historical sites and behold authentic mid-nineteenth century architecture. Find out what all the fuss is about. Take a trek to the newly-restored tomb of colourful historical figure Dr. William ‘Tiger’ Dunlop. Visit the 1842 Huron Historic Gaol, site of Canada’s last public hanging (recounted in John Melady’s book, Double Trap: The Last Public Hanging in Canada). Walk through the doors of rebel history in Egmondville’s Van Egmond House. Visit Goderich’s Square (is it a Square, Octagon, or Circle?), a rare architectural innovation successfully transplanting from ancient Rome to a modern urban centre. Visit the fascinating museums of Ontario’s West Coast, including Huron County Museum, one of the province’s finest small museums. School children know it as the site of the two-headed calf, but beautiful exhibitions there offer so much more. Ontario’s West Coast is waiting to be discovered by the heritage enthusiast uncovering tales of early Ontario settlement or the military historian investigating the origins of radar or Second World War flight training bases. Yes, this region is a shoreline playground. But, when you’re not taking in a breathtaking sunset

or the relaxing sound of waves lapping onto shore, why not enjoy an historical adventure. The adventure starts here . . . The French bestowed the name ‘Huron’ to the ‘Ouendat’ First Nations people in the upper end of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, recounts James Scott in The Settlement of Huron County. The first European to reach this area may have been controversial Étienne Brûlé, a courier de bois and servant of Samuel de Champlain. Hollywood should put this man’s story on film. Brûlé lived with the Hurons, learned their language and transformed himself into a member of the aboriginal culture. He eventually alienated de Champlain, the Iroquois and even the Hurons, who reportedly killed him for transgressions the history books still debate. The French contributed a fascinating figure to the region but other rich historical personages came from Scotland, namely Dr. William ‘Tiger’ Dunlop and John Galt. ‘Tiger’ Dunlop was the Scottish writer, land developer, politician, surgeon, rebel and scallywag who regularly carried twelve large glass jars he nicknamed the ‘Twelve Apostles.’ Eleven were filled with whiskey and the twelfth (‘Judas’) was filled with water. Scottish novelist and land developer John Galt is a key character in the new book, ‘The Canada Company and the Huron Tract, 1826-1853: Personalities, Profits and Politics.’ Robert C. Lee’s book fuels a fiery debate that still rages over Galt’s place in history. Galt was a peer of Lord Byron and Sir Walter Scott. He wrote significant novels set in Scotland and Canada – but he claimed his greatest success was as Superintendent of the Canada Company, the land development enterprise

www.ontarioswestcoast.ca

that opened this area for settlement. Today, visitors can see the realization of Galt’s vision by walking the scenic Square of Goderich or by travelling the Huron Tract from ‘Shakespeare to the Shoreline.’ Huron’s 840,000 acres of land form Ontario’s most agriculturally-productive county – rivalling the output of some provinces! – and a significant centre of technology and industry. It is also a tourist destination with endless attractions. The history of Huron County isn’t hidden away in dusty old books. Experience the drama at Huron’s world-class museums, historic Gaol, through theatrical performances or an excursion down Huron’s streets. Or, take part in ‘Doors Open Ontario’ where doors that are normally closed will swing open for you . . . Come join the West Coast adventure . . . tell them that Tiger sent you . . . For more information on Huron County Historical or Genealogical information, please refer to Page 22. History text courtesy of Tim Cumming, a Huron County resident and local history enthusiast.

Museums and Attractions

Discover Huron County’s diverse heritage sites.

Come and celebrate history at Huron County’s impressive museum and historic gaol as well as sampling the stories told by local community museums, archives, galleries and stops along the way. There are wildlife areas and an arboretum, a tiny zoo and racetracks with horsepower of both kinds!

Memorial parks and historic bridges take you off the beaten track to encounter a different pace and space that will please every member of your family. Colourful and memorable museum experiences include live radio shows, celebrated Canadian writers, one-room schools on solid foundations as well as rail tracks, renowned photographers and marine history in Huron County. Collections and keepsakes,

mementos and cultural traditions – our museums hold the key to the past, with rooms hosting items that will trigger memories or more questions than answers – good exercise for the brain! Museums ask us to remember and appreciate our local history and experiences as well as bring the world to our doors with special travelling exhibits. Museums and special attractions are ideal for family outings, from hands-on experiments with old tools to collections that evoke vivid memories and tales of life not-solong-ago too. Huron County’s attractions offer an amazing array of choices – from racing with maximum horsepower to racing with horses! Both racetracks will provide plenty of

1-888-524-8394 x3

excitement whether you’re betting or not. Wildlife areas and nature centres provide a backdrop of lush marsh and greenery where enthusiasts can view wildlife species, hike, canoe and even hunt. There’s a collection of sculptures set among the trees, with nearby bountiful orchard and farm shops too. With marine heritage walkways and historic walks around the towns, there’s plenty to do to keep everyone moving. If searching through archives is an appealing preoccupation then Huron County’s archives will satisfy the treasure hunters: Bayfield’s Archives Room, St. Joseph’s area archives along with the County’s Museum will provide great venues for the family historian.

MENESETUNG BRIDGE ASSOCIATION , was originally built as a C.P.R. railway bridge in 1907. At the time of its construction, it was the longest railway bridge in Ontario. Regular passenger and freight service continued on the line up to the 1970’s. The last steam locomotive passed over the bridge in 1977, and the last diesel locomotive in 1988. The rail line between Guelph and Goderich was abandoned in 1989 and portions were converted to walking trails in 1992. The conversion of the MENESETUNG bridge to a pedestrian walking bridge was made possible through the sale of planks and railings to local and area BRIDGE residents, thus many of the planks and railings are engraved with the names of these generous individuals and families. The Menesetung Bridge connects the Town of Goderich with the Tiger Dunlop Heritage Trail, the Maitland Trail and the Goderich to Auburn Rail Trail (GART). The Bridge spans the Maitland River and offers an incredible view of the river, the Port of Goderich and Lake Huron. The trail starts at the Goderich Waterfront and extends to Hwy. #21 entrance to the GART across the bridge past the Meneset Arboretum at mileage 2+750 where native trees are being restored at the former Station site.

ST. J O S E P H M E M O R I A L PA R K , and Historical Walkway tell the history of St. Joseph through narrative and pictorial signage. The Park began with a request from St. AndrZˇ, 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 ST. JOSEPH ground where the statue now stands. The statue was placed in the Park in 1972. In August of 2011, a statue MEMORIAL of St. Andre was erected in the park depicting St. Andre’s devotion to St. Joseph. A Provincial Plaque was also PARK 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.

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 BALLS Bridge, as a two span structure, is exceptionally rare, and stands out as a significant example among Ontario’s BRIDGE 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.

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.

The WEXFORD, foundered, and was lost with all hands. She lay hidden from all seekers until the year 2000. (Courtesy of late Audrey Barlow.)

A REMEMBRANCE IN 2013 The final weeks 1913, were bleak days along Ontario’s West Coast. Citizens in every community were involved in recovery operations following an unrivaled November storm. Dozens of bodies from nineteen ships – on Lake Huron alone – were recovered. In the words of Robert J. Hemming, in Ships Gone Missing, “They came draped over life preservers, they came draped in each other’s arms; they came frozen together in clusters.” Not unlike the recent Hurricane Sandy, the Great Storm of 1913, this “White Hurricane”, resulted from the collision of two massive storm systems: one raging northward from the USA, and the second pushing southward from northern Canada. In the final count, 256 “official” deaths were acknowledged. CENTENNIAL REMEMBRANCES The Port of Goderich & Ontario West Coast communities, will remember “The Great Storm 1913” in 2013. The centenary events will commence as early as March, and will culminate in a special series of Remembrance activities, November 8, 9 and 10, 2013. Museums and heritage societies along the lakeshore will host special displays. Art galleries in Goderich will present special exhibitions. The Goderich Little Theatre will mount the musical drama, November 9, 1913: The Great Storm.

There will be a culminating weekend of events November 8, 9 & 10: The Port of Goderich activities will include a major exhibition combining Heritage & Education Displays with a broad Marine Trade Show & Job Fair Exhibition. Participation includes major partners in the marine shipping industry, marine trade companies, as well as marine heritage & education groups from across the Great Lakes basin. The Georgian College International Marine Training Program will be a major player with their on-site simulators. The Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Coast Guard & Hydrographic Services will be present. The Lifelong Learning Division of the Avon Maitland District School and its government job re-training will attend. Special commemorative ceremonies will happen at the memorial plaque overlooking Goderich Harbour; at the plot for the unknown ‘SAILORS’ in Maitland Cemetery; and, hopefully, the unveiling of a special permanent memorial sculpture on a bluff-site overlooking the lake. There will be other special events in various Ontario West Coast communities For details, locations and times, please www.1913storm.ca for ongoing updates.

Marinas and Public Beaches

It’s a shore thing... 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 quite 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 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.

Huron County is Bounty

40 ideas to create the vacation of your dreams Fall In Love with Huron County 1 Golf and Fine Dining at historic inns set

among the spectacular fall colours of Huron County. Add in some theatre, museum and gallery stops along the way too.

2 Hike and Bike along trails that wind

through the county’s rolling landscape. Catch your breath and watch the fall bird migration, the historic architecture of Huron’s villages and towns. Dine at crossroads restaurants with hearty menus. 3 Colour and Kids- Bring cameras and bird

books to the conservation areas and take advantage of fall programs. Museums throughout the county celebrate the fall as well. 4 Fly away home - Fall bird watching can

be great and while you’re enjoying the relief from summer heat, drop into the archives to explore your families’ genealogy. Museums celebrate fall harvests and galleries

feature the unique works of art found in Huron County. 5 Antiques and Artisans - Snap up a

treasure at a shop, visit a gallery and take home a gem. Then drop by a shop or two - leather is a big hit in Blyth and some pottery at Beechwood Pottery. Enjoy Van Egmond House to explore mid-nineteenth century lifestyles. 6 Harvest celebrations - Huron County

knows how to party and when. Check out the list of festivals and events for fall and winter in Huron County. Call for details at 519-524-8394 ext 3 and visit the website: www.heritageandculture.on.ca 7 How many days until Christmas?

Use our Heritage and Culture Partnership locations to find the best in the arts to take home and wrap up for special people this season.

8 Genealogy and Archives - Museums can

often provide insight and helpful advice for your family history research. Once you’re done make plans to spend some time in our historic bed and breakfasts. You’ll find warm welcomes at B&B’s throughout the county, along with bountiful breakfasts and perhaps other treats too. No one knows Huron County better than our B&B hosts. 9 Fall Town Walks - Architecture in Huron

County towns and villages is treasured. Spend an afternoon viewing these fine vernacular designs and then wander through historic sites like the St. Joseph Memorial Park and Historic Walkway. 10 Pubs and Good Food - Our country

restaurants specialize in great food as you explore the byways and backroads of Huron County. Bring a group and some designated drivers and graze your way across the rolling countryside and welcoming dining spots along the way.

Spring ice cream treat

Fall farmers market

Spring Brings out the Explorer in All of us! 11 Spring bird migration - You’ll find an

amazing array of birds flying overhead all along Huron’s shoreline and inland as well. Check with our conservation centres for what’s happening in early spring - especially the tundra swans. 12 Spring produce and baking at local bake

shops will entice you. Visit often and enjoy these baked goods all summer long!

13 Gardeners getting ready for spring and

summer blooms will want to explore the many landscape and garden centres in Huron County. Fill up the trunk and make planting plans early!

14 Spring fishing - Lure the fish with flies

and bait. Explore the rivers and creeks that wind their way through Huron County. Spring on the Maitland and Bayfield Rivers - Polish up the canoe and kayaks and take an exhilarating ride before summer calms the flow.

18 Conservation areas welcome all of

us with spring walks to see the early wildflowers and the birds as well as insects and creatures to delight the child in all of us.

Unique country shopping provides those 16 spring antique treasures for your home. 17 Spring golf offers time to warm up for summer on the links. Huron County’s golf courses offer challenges and lots of variety to satisfy veterans and novices alike.

May camping gets the kinks out of the

19 equipment and gets us all ready for a

warm summer of tenting and walks and biking at the many camp sites in the county. 20 Lighthouses and marine history - Huron

County is home to some fine examples of lighthouses and our marine history is an important part of the development of this area.

Winter Weather - A New Way to Explore Huron 21 In the snow - Get out the cross- country

skis, oil up the snow machines, dust off the snowshoes and prepare to trek across country on Huron’s winter trails. Birds and beautiful scenery await you. Bring a camera too. 22 Winter walks in our villages and towns

offer a new view of heritage homes and architecture without the green canopy to distract you from viewing fine old homes and business buildings. 23 Our country inns are decorated and

delightful all winter long. Spa services and personal indulgences are a perfect way to enjoy time away from the winter winds. Museums and galleries offer special

24 learning experiences and quiet places

to enjoy exploring the past and the present. 25 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. 26 Concerts, film nights and music

events are available to keep everyone entertained. A great way to spend a midweek evening. 27 Walk the shoreline of Lake Huron and

bring your camera to catch the winter winds at work on the ice, waves and sand. Some stunning photo opportunities will come your way.

28 Winter camping! A wonderful way to

experience Huron County. Be the first to experience a night out among the snow drifts and stars. 29 Fine dining - Get your dining club

together and plan to dine out once a month in Huron County and enjoy cuisine from down home to sophisticated with great brews on tap and wine cellars to entice you. 30 Great hockey is played in the arenas

throughout Huron County. Small town hockey is where the crowds root for the home team and make the game exciting and fun. Plan on enjoying the games and find the team you’ll cheer for every week!

Summer lunch

Winter heritage

It’s Summer - Time to Celebrate! 31 Theatre, golf and dining - A winning

combination! Choose from historic accommodation in inns, and Victorian bed and breakfasts that you’ll want to visit again every season of the year. 32 Antiques and auctions and the arts -

Shop the antique stores, flea markets 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 - Be heartsmart

and explore the trails in the countryside and the historic walking tours in villages and towns. Take advantage of peeking into the gardens too. Take home some plants from garden centres for your own garden!

34 Beach bonanza - How many kilometres

of shoreline can you walk? Kick off your shoes and relax. There are more beaches and spots to explore than there are days of summer. Plan on coming again and again. 35 Bike and hike - Here’s the ideal way to

a healthy vacation. Get the stress out, stretch your legs and enjoy the scenery. Boating and fishing rank high on the list for summer. Take the bait and explore all the fishing spots, ponds and parks. 36

37 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

1-888-524-8394 x3

at the “pick your own” spots along the way. 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.
