– Stephen Tanzer’s, International Wine Cellar “Hardie’s Chardonnays are laser-etched with acidity, minerality and the sort of originality that only Burgundy can deliver.”

– Matt Kramer, Wine Spectator

“Really very Burgundian.

Real density. Norman Hardie is definitively a name to watch.”

hen one talks about “old world charm”, it is usually in ­reference to the Past. We do not n ­ ormally use the term in conjunction with a person, but these are exactly the words to describe m ­ aster ­craftsman Pat Davies of Butler Creek Antiques - Old World Charm ... with a heavy accent on “charm”.

In fact, Pat is probably one of the most charming and extraordinary gentlemen you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting during your sojourn in The County. His passion for beautifully crafted furnishings and collectibles is obvious the moment you walk into his shop.

With his keen eye, Pat sees the unique qualities each piece has beyond the state of disrepair that he finds them. It’s kind of like that “Property Guys” aspect when it comes to seeing the potential of a piece which most peopl would not see.

Using traditional, old world craftmanship, Pat singlehandedly and lovingly restores these “lost treasures”, he finds, to be able to once again grace a home or office.

At Butler Creek Antiques, you will find a phenomenal selection of early Canadiana and more from Quebec and Ontario, beautifullly restored to their former grandeur in keeping with all their original attributes which makes each piece special. Whether you are in the market for harvest tables and chairs, sideboards, chests, dressers, blanket boxes & spinning wheels or smalls and accessories, you will find them here.

With more than 35 years experience, Pat’s passion for his work and his in-depth knowledge of the pieces he has in his shop is amazing. He will actually take the time to tell you the history of each item you express interest in bringing to life the magic of the past to enrich the intrinsic value of an item. In fact, he has some amazing stories to tell. One special story is about an exceptional carriage he had come across and simply decided to restore on his own only to have one of original owner’s

F E AT U R E A N T I Q U E D E A L E R - B U T L E R C R E E K A N T I Q U E S descendants coming across it at his shop. Naturally, the customer could not resist getting it back into the family as it was part of his family heritage.

Pat’s talents do not just end here! Can’t find the perfect piece you need for your home? Take the time to talk to Pat because he also builds custom harvest tables and cupboards to fit your space and taste using age old pine with traditional mortise & tenon construction. Do you have an old family heirloom that needs some TLC before you put it in your home? Once again, Pat is the master craftsman for the job since he does custom refinishing with wonderful results that are certain to delight you.

So if you are in the market for something special for your home, appreciate quality, love early Canadiana and other vintage furnishings or smalls, then it will be well worth your time to slip in a visit to Butler Creek Antiques and to meet Pat Davies, the man with Old World Charm and the Midas Touch when it comes to reviving the beauty and the life of those items from our great historic past.

In addition to Butler Creek Antiques’ superb selection of antiques and collectibles, you get a double treat! Proprietor Pat Davies also showcases the fine art of Donna Bonin, his resident artist.

Donna has had a life long passion for drawing and painting. Her work reflects her surroundings including Sandbanks, Presqu’ile and Bon Echo Provincial Parks.

Donna’s professional artistic career began with teaching art to high school children in Belleville. Since retiring, she has become a full time artist with exhibitions throughout Eastern Ontario, Newfoundland, Cape Vincent NY, and Limoux France. In last year, Donna was asked to be a part of an international exhibition at Agora Gallery, New York City with a second exhibition of her watercolours in N.Y. last October.

Donna still teaches privately at her studio/gallery on Oak Lake just north of Belleville. She also leads painting vacation workshops to Southern France, Sicily, the Greek Islands, Mexico and Malta. More of Donna’s work can be found on her website at www.donnabonin.ca.

Between the wonderful antiques and Donna’s beautiful paintings, you are definitely in for a treat when you drop in at Butler Creek Antiques.

Re-purposing The Past!

A

lthough antique collecting originally started with the preservation of religious objects in antiquity, it was not until the 16th century that European collections of other rarities started to appear outside the realm of the church and in the castles and homes of kings and noblemen. By the 18th century, with the development of archeology and a growing appreciation of art, old books, manuscripts, possessions of famous people along with classical antiquities, collecting such items became both a public and private endeavour. Museums wanted to ensure the preservation of historic treasures for future generations to enjoy, while private collectors sought such items for their intrinsic values. Today, it is this passion and appreciation of history, artistry and craftmanship that causes thousands of people to explore antique shops around the world in their quest to fine the rare, the beautiful, the odd and the obscure.

With its historic roots, Prince Edward County and its surrounding area can boast of having a wealth of treasures for avid antique lovers to enjoy exploring. For those who are into collecting specific items, then the county’s intriguing antique shops with their collectibles, ephemera, jewellery, and more will certainly delight you. With family heirlooms from the last two centuries, the County offers a unique blend of primitive, early Canadiana as well as fine European antique furnishings. In fact, with the trend to re-purpose quality antiques as shows like Property Guys are promoting, you may even find some great antiques to re-purpose for your own home decor that will set you apart as a trendsetter!

Whether you are a seasoned antique hunter, trendsetter or ­someone who simply delights in seeing unique items from the past or a person who has a sense of nostalgia, there is a bounty of all things “old” which can be found amidst the County’s hamlets and quaint L­ oyalist villages.

Places like Dead People’s Stuff, Butler Antiques, Hillier House, Jim and Dave’s Antiques, Karen Brown’s Antiques, Pat’s Antiques, The Sword Antiques and more await the pleasure of your visit along with their knowledgeable and friendly proprietors.

OK, folks! For those of us who love antiques, we have to the face the fact that if it’s truly an antique, then it has to be over 100 years old ... ergo, it is probably dead people’s stuff.

At her emporium of eclectic historic delights, you will d e f i n i te l y f i n d f a b u l o u s treasure that once belonged to those who no longer walk the earth. it It is all about the Past. You will find an eclectic variety of antiques along with some great nostalgic items for the “baby ­boomers” who hanker for those special elements that touched their lives once upon a time.

ANTIQUES HILLIER HOUSE

Art • Antiques • Design • Decoration There is something to be said about the sense of history one gets when one steps over a threshold into a historic landmark where Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald use to shop.

The Hamlet of Hillier ’s General Store rang the till for the last time on March 17, 1986; however, the shop had not yet finished serving The County. After a period of rest and restoration, Hillier House reopened on May 24, 2005 thanks to the vision and the passion of interior decorator and proprietor, Noreen Kalman.

Renowned for her work as an interior decorator to some of Toronto’s most prestigious homes and written up in various publications for her wonderful design and decor

projects, Noreen fell in love with The County and its rich history during a visit.

Being recognized as North America’s second largest community for historic architecture, the County was a natural magnet for Noreen; therefore, it was no surprise that with Noreen’s passion for history and unique architecture that she was drawn to Hillier’s old General Store. Even in its dilapidated state, Noreen could envision breathing new life into it and restoring it for all to enjoy.

Now, several years later visitors welcome the oppor tunity to explore and shop in her beautifully restored store that is filled with a fabulous blend of fine antique furnishings, collec tibles and today ’s new treasures of quality merchandise in keeping with the caliber of her fine antiques

that you will find gracing her beautiful shop.

According to Noreen, a merchant in a Derby Hat with a fine looking horse began the tradition of Rustic Refinement.

At Hillier House, she continues to offer “Fine Goods” providing you with Antiques and Objects of Desire along with her professional design service whenever the need arises.

JIM & DAVE’S ANTIQUES

Antiques & Collectibles At first glance, one would not expect to find what lies within the walls of Jim & Dave’s Antiques - one is certainly not expecting the more than 6500 sq.ft. chock full of every type of antique imaginable.

For starters, there’s the copper bathtub in the

entrance just before you enter the store’s main area, and an intriguing coffee table made from a giant bellow - the likes that many have never seen.

Talk about a conversation piece when visitors arrive!

Spread over two floors, Jim & Dave’s Antiques is an amazing emporium of fine antiques, unique retro items and oddities that make one go “Hmmm...”. In fact, there are quite a few items that will make one wonder for what on earth they were ever used but they are intriguing to say the least.

Other items will definitely remind some of you of timesgone-by ... drawing out a little sigh of “remember when...”. Old memorabilia signage including antique gas signs, collector tins to name just a few of the many things that will remind you of times spent at Grandma’s and Grandpa’s or things that your parents once own but now long gone.

andrew Csafordi Encaustic Artist “If you can scribble, then you can create art.” andrew csafordi

W

hen one spends one’s youth drawing on everything from inside closets to driveways and on every scrap of paper one can find, it is ­obvious that that ­individual is ­destined to end up in a career that utilizes and ­harnesses such creative energy. This is exactly how renowned encaustic a ­ rtist Andrew Csafordi ­started out on his path to a lifetime of creativity.

Born in Bowmanville, Ontario, artist Andrew Csafordi recognized that art was an integral part of who he was at an early age. Even though his father was reluctant about his career direction, he realized that Andrew had to follow his heart. Armed with his passion and his raw skills, Andrew pursued his dreams and in 1979 graduated from the Ontario College of Art. Having majored in drawing and painting, communication and design, he was ready to taken on life’s challenges as an artist.

Within a very short period of time, Andrew became a creative force as a commercial artist involving graphic designer and illustration. Eventually, he worked his way up to become an art director.

So great was his success that he eventually ventured out to open his own graphic design studio, Csafordi & Associates in 1987, and later Fire Engine Inc., in 1999, which he still operates with his business partner and wife Tara Wilkinson, a creative force herself as an artist and photographer of Love Nest Studio.

Although Andrew’s work had taken him into the more lucrative field of commercial art, he never left behind his creative freedom as a fine artist - ergo his own personal work as an artist. During the course of his 30 year career, he continued to paint and sculpt. In fact, he found himself constantly being commissioned by personal and corporate clients for his artwork.

feature artist

F E AT U R E A R T I S T - A N D R E W C S A F O R D I With his background in graphic design, Andrew discovered that he utilized the same principals of balance, composition, contrast, etc... in his own work as a fine artist but he was always looking build upon his skills. Over the years, Andrew continued to take courses at the Haliburton School of the Arts that allowed him to further explore encaustic painting and sculpture. Today, his signature sculptural painting style is as distinctive as the artist himself. In fact, for the past ten years, Andrew has strictly devoted himself to encaustic painting which uses natural aromatic melted beeswax with oil paint mixed in for colour. With his pastoral surroundings as his inspiration, Andrew uses this fast drying medium to create captivating pieces as he works his brushes to overlay it on wooden surfaces wherein each layer is then gently fused using heat resulting in luminescent paintings with dramatic and sometimes whimsical effects. Within the scope of his encaustic creations, Andrew brilliantly incorporates sculpted pieces that creates a dynamic three dimensional effect extending beyond the actual encaustic “canvas”.

As a recognized artist, Andrew has had his work showcased in various exhibitions across the province as well as being in several regional galleries but nothing could compare to the honour of having his work chosen to be showcased at the internationally renowned McMichael Gallery in Kleinberg last fall. Out of 188 artists, he was one of 35 painters who scored the highest marks during a jury process to be part of the Gallery’s prestigious Autumn Art Sale and fundraiser.

Andrew’s ongoing commitment to his art and the promotion of County artists has made him a valuable member of both the Prince Edward Arts Council and the Quinte Arts Council as well as various Ontario arts councils. His passion for his artistry has also given him a new direction where the artist himself has become the teacher. Throughout the year, Andrew hosts encaustic workshops in his Gallery Barn and Studio.

With his work in both private and corporate collections around the world, a visit to Andrew Csafordi’s Gallery will show you why this gifted artist followed his heart as his passion is on display for all to see and enjoy.

The Andrew Csafordi Gallery (and Love Nest Studio Gallery also located on site) is open DAILY from April to October, 10 AM to 5 PM (closed Wednesdays). The Gallery is open by appointment from November to March. Proud members of the Prince Edward County ARTS TRAIL.

ANDREW CSAFORDI 2013 TWO-DAY ENCAUSTIC PAINTING WORKSHOPS During the year, Andrew Csafordi offers two-day encaustic painting workshops.

Encaustic painting is fun and easy, using natural aromatic melted beeswax and oil paint mixed in for colour. A very friendly medium, the fast drying time allows you to create captivating works that will ignite your imagination. The warm liquid wax is applied to a wooden surface with brushes. Each layer is then gently fused using heat, resulting in a luminescent painting. Relax and be inspired while painting in a casual studio environment in the tranquil countryside. The results will delight and surprise you and what is great is the fact that no experience is necessary.

The Two-Day Encaustic Painting Workshop includes a workbook, all materials, light refreshments and snacks. There is a maximum of 5 persons per workshop. All workshops take place in Andrew’s studio on his beautiful farm in the heart of Prince Edward County’s thriving wine region. Workshop gift certificates available. Visa / Mastercard accepted.

“ Every culture is defined by its artists.”

David Dory

Our Visual Culture!

W

hen it comes to humans, we are “visual” creatures with our own individual viewpoint of what appeals to our senses. It is all about form and content whether it is a sculpture, an encaustic painting, a glass vase or porcelain bowl. Art is expressive.

In some cases, it attempts to redefine reality and even to redefine art itself. It either pushes us or persuades us to see and understand the artist’s interpretation of those factors which is influencing his or her life. It can be a revelation or an illusion. Art is all this and so more to both the artist and to the artist’s audience.

For some of the 300 and more artists who call The County “home”, art allows them to express themselves via the exploration of various media from painting with watercolour, acrylics and mixed media to working with hot glass and everything in between to create both functional and decorative works of art. Here, there is a myriad of artists - sculptors, potters, glassblowers, fibre artists, painters, photographers and more. They come from every path and stage of life to indulge in their various artistic passions.

The artists that you will find in this section are those who are devoted to their art. These knowledgeable artists and artisans invite you to visit their galleries and studios to see their work with the hope that you will find their art as meaningful to you as it is for them. They take delight in sharing their time with you and let you explore the world through their eyes as they enlighten you on their individual journey as to how they create their art .

Throughout the year, the County plays host to a variety of art events like Art in the County, CLIC Eastern Ontario Photo Show & Sale, the Rednersville Studio Tour, the Prince Edward County Studio Tour, and the Maker’s Hand. These events present wonderful opportunities for visitors to take advantage of finding these talented artists either under one roof or at least in their individual studios where they can view and even purchase their work..

Please take note that each artist can be found on the map in this section. In addition, you will notice that some of the artists’ ads have the Arts Trail logo which denotes their membership on this well travelled artist route.

Introduction

As a result of volcanic eruptions, lightening strikes and meteorites, natural glass has existed since the beginning of time but it was not until 3500 BC that man first attempted to create glass objects for his own use. Non-transparent beads dating found in Egypt and Eastern Mesopotamia are the first evidence of when the craft was born. By 1500 BC the art evolved to include glass cases. Using compacted sand moulds dipped in molten glass, the craftsmen created vases.

It was only between 27 BC and 14 AD that Syrian artisans actually started blowing hollow glass wares using a long thin metal tube - an artform that has literally remained unchanged since that time.

At Bloomfield Studios & Gallery, artists Mel and Colleen Wilder continue to explore this fascinating medium as they create contemporary glass ware, sculptures, jewelry and more. You are invited to visit their studio and gallery to see live demonstrations of this historic craft. Showcasing their artistry, their in-house gallery offers you the perfect opportunity to shop for unique gifts or to take home a treasure of your own.

T h r o u g h o u t t h e y e a r, ­Bloomfield Studios plays offers private ­lessons and workshops to those people interested in learning about their ­respective art forms.

Both Mel and his wife, give their own classes t­ hroughout the year and you are invited to experience the magic of glass with these two gifted artists and their guest a­ rtists whenever you feel the desire to explore the artist within you. It’s a great

feeling to see what emerges as you work with molten glass whether it is to create a glass orb or a beautiful glass bead.

Mel Wilder

Spirits in Glass Inc.

Glass artist, Mel Wilder finds that ­blowing glass creates an inner peace and tranquility which is almost h­ ypnotic. Through the use of colour, ­r efraction and ­reflection, Mel’swork attempts to showcase the magical n­ ature glass, in its ­molten state, holds for him through ongoing d ­ emonstrations which visitors can enjoy.

As he will tell you, he garners an i­ nner peace when he is ­working at the bench which he finds is ­a lmost spiritual in nature. All his pieces ­a ttempt to pass this on to the viewer so they, too, can enjoy the “spirits in glass” which he discovers in the creation of each of his pieces.

Colleen Wilder

Nightshade Fine Art

As a graduate of the Ontario College of Art of Design, Colleen’s artistic talent covers a broad spectrum. Although an avid artist ­working with oils, watercolour and mixed media, Colleen’s l­atest work ­involves working with glass.

As with her painting, her l a m p wo r k e d b e a d s a re ­statements of her love of ­colour, texture, landscape and mystery. ­Colleen takes her work to the next level creating wonderful ­j ewellery. The ­n ecklaces, ­bracelets and ­earrings ­designs are one-of-a-kind works of art.

For those who love wearing ­dramatic ­accessories, ­Colleen’s creations are b ­ reathtaking. They are the perfect gifts for those special ladies in your life and she welcomes custom orders.

According to Caroline, “Solid one moment, fluid the next, all its forms draw me. “ Caroline’s glass studio, Elements, is located in a small century old carriage house in Bloomfield where she creates glass art ranging from originally designed stained glass panels to gorgeous kiln formed glass bowls and platters. Kiln casting and glass sculpture are her latest interests. In fact, you never know where Caroline’s artistic passion for glass will take her.

Her award winning creations can be found in homes and offices from coast to coast as well as many other countries.

Round the Bend Gallery

If you love the settings of Monet’s famous waterside paintings , then a visit to Round the Bend Gallery is where you will find the very same ethereal beauty captured in many of Monet’s works.

Home and studio of painter and multi-media artist, Andrew Innes, this secluded gallery is situated amidst a delightful garden setting which overlooks ­beautiful Picton Bay. Amidst this serene backdrop, you will find not only the works of award winning artist ­A ndrew Innes,but also an exciting c­ ollection of Canadian art glass and s­ culpture.

Born in Jamaica, schooled in ­E ngland, Andrew settled in Canada 1973 where he ran his own private accounting practice. Having studied at the College Street Atelier from 2001 - 2005, Andrew took up painting full time and now paints for the sheer joy and challenge of it.

In his own words, his p ­ aintings reflect, “an on-going attempt to

­ istinguish the essential from d the decorative and to discern the rhythms, patterns and geometry in nature.”

Using oils, acrylics and watercolour, Andrew is not what you would term a “Wet on wet” painter. His paintings are very layered, built up over time.

As a result, he finds that acrylics allow him to do this a lot easier than oils and watercolours; however, it does not diminish his passion for oils.

Andrew love for all forms of art is evident in his gallery as it houses not only his own work but also features the works of other Canadian artists including the work of glass artists, Mariel Waddell and Mischka Hunter and the sculptures of Bunny Bates.

Artist Noella Noel is an abstract painter whose works in oils and acrylics have garnered her an avid following.

Her work is visually outstanding thanks to Noella’s wonderful sense of colour, composition and expressive mark-making.

Her artwork involves the layering of the paint, collage, words, and moments in time. She repeatedly applies the paint, then scrapes it away and reapplies it until images arise from the ongoing interaction as her work on a piece progresses to the point that Noella is satisfied with that it fulfills what she wants to express - the sign of a true artist passionate about perfecting her artistry .

Having studied at the Dundas Valley School of Art, she has participated in several shows and has had her own exhibits at the Dofasco Gallery as well as at the King Street Gallery in Hamilton.

ANDREW CSAFORDI & TARA WILKINSON Love Nest Studio

The husband and wife team of Andrew Csafordi and Tara Wilkinson is the perfect example of how two different approaches to art work can exist in beautiful harmony with each other.

1 Andrew Csafordi A graduate of the Ontario College of Art & Design, Andrew is an ­accomplished sculptor, illustrator and designer.

Through each encaustic painting, Andrew brings the viewer into an organic land or skyscape unlike any other. His luminous, textural paintings call out to be touched.

Rich layered textures of imagination, bees wax, oil paint, and dry pigments as well as fibres, wood, metal and other materials are used in combination to tell a rich story about “life below the surface” and

“the roots that ground the world above”. ... a beautiful symbolism of the world and life around us.

Sometimes moody, sometimes whimsical, and always thought provoking, Csafordi paintings take you to another world … his world, a world to explore and give fuel to your imagination.

1 Tara Wilkinson Artist, Tara Wilkinson, lovingly handcrafts nests from fibres, twigs and other found materials.

Each nest is unique in colour, fiber content, size, character and spirit.

Her sculptural art nests are sacred and symbolic vessels that honour and celebrate the stages of life.

Profoundly influenced and inspired by nature, Tara loves to work with natural elements to create her sculptural Fibre Art Nests. When talking about her art, Tara says, “I see them as cups of space with which we can honour and celebrate all stages of life.”

The Bald Photographer Studio and Gallery is in Cherry Valley, between Picton and Sandbanks Provincial Park where Welsh-born ­photographer Graham Davies has converted the old village shop into a studio, darkroom and gallery space for his fine ar t photography. Graham works with black and white film, hand printing his i­mages on a­ rchival papers. His work includes portraits, landscapes, body ­portraits and abstracts and vintage press photographs from his years as a photojournalist.

The gallery is a welcoming place. Graham and his wife, writer Jan D ­ avies, live in the old house attached to the shop, and visitors are encouraged to knock there or shout over the

garden fence if they find the gallery empty.

“I’ve had visitors who like what they see so much they book a portrait session on the spot,” says Graham. “Sometimes I’ve set up and we’ve done the shoot right then, or I’ll go round to wherever they are staying and get a great portrait out in the environment, or the whole family on the beach.”

Though he shoots colour digital for commercial work and ­occasional weddings, Graham’s heart belongs to black and white.

“It’s not necessary for one art form to die when a new one comes along,” he says. “Digital is quick and easy, but you’ll never surpass the beauty and drama of great black and white photography.”

POT T E R Y BILL REDDICK 13

Reddick Porcelain Studio

The pursuit of excellence is something which all great artists strive towards. It is this d ­ riving force along with exceptional talent which creates “master artists “ like Bill Reddick As a Master Potter, Bill has achieved international acclaim for his work, more so than ever when the eyes of the world saw photos and news clips of Canada’s Prime Minister and President Obama dining on the plates that he had created for the Governor General at Rideau Hall.

The green rimmed plates with a red centre and a maple leaf shape were a commission that Bill had r­ eceived from Rideau Hall in 2003, paid for by a private donation to the Canadiana Fund.

Only 45 plates were sent to Rideau Hall a­ lthough Bill went through 300 of them before he

chose those which he deemed met his ­standards - a level of perfection that only a true artist demands of his work.

There is something etherial about a fine piece of p ­ orcelain.

It is smooth almost cool to the touch with a translucent quality unlike a­ nything else; yet, these delicate pieces of ­workmanship are lighter and more durable than any other form of pottery. It is why Bill is drawn to producing fine porcelain pieces, especially having seen other porcelain which has survived through the centuries.

Initially, Bill made wonderful, ­everyday stoneware ­including functional items for the kitchen as well as ­s pecial decorative pieces; h ­ owever, today, you will find him creating porcelain pieces that he is passionate about.

Never one who enjoyed “formal” training when it came to his art, Bill immersed himself

in the study of Chinese porcelain and devised his own small test kiln to conduct his experiments to develop c­ lassical Chinese glazes. It was this new challenge that has brought out Bill’s truly creative essence and which has ­garnered him the exceptional international acclaim he enjoys today. It is why the Governor General has been c­ ollecting his work since 2000 and why he was asked to create the Maple Leaf dinnerware for Rideau Hall.

Although his work is showcased in v­ arious g ­ alleries in ­Toronto and Ottawa as well as at ­various major international exhibitions, Bill thoroughly enjoys having the personal contact with people since he gets to see their response to his work, firsthand. As a result, he welcomes you to visit him at his studio gallery located on Northport Road, just off Highway

49 before the Skyway Bridge, to view some of his newest works and to share his artistic process with you. It is an experience not to be missed!

In 2010 David moved to the UK, and subsequently to a small village near Limoges in the Limousin, France and Poterie St. Bonnet Briance was launched.

The pots were slip-decorated and glazed earthenware, but similar in type to those David threw in Tasmania, down under.

Although living in France was a fabulous experience, in 2012 David and his wife Jan Duffy moved to Bloomfield in beautiful Prince Edward County, Ontario and Pottery31 was established. David now produces beautiful handthrown, hand-decorated, glazed stoneware and he and Jan are happy to welcome you any time you would like to visit their pottery.

MAGGIE MURDOCH & DAVID DROWN 15 Wellington Pottery

Maggie Murdoch and David Drown, founders of Wellington Pottery, have a total of 60 years experience between them. They are passionate about what they do and dedicated to creating functional and fanciful works of art in clay – but this year there is even more to enjoy at Wellington Pottery.

You and your children can share their talent and passion for clay at relaxed and productive Adult Workshops with Maggie and Kids Workshops with David.

I f yo u’re l o o k i n g fo r truly one - of-a-k ind gifts or a unique alternative for your wedding registration, consider Wellington Pottery.

Chances are you have already dined off Maggie and David’s beautiful tableware at a

PRINCE EDWARD COUNT Y SOJOURNER 2013

County restaurant. Why settle for mass-produced when you can commission or buy from the maker’s hand?

The pottery is housed in a beautiful garden just steps from Main Street. Starting this year, the couple offers holiday accommodation in “Maggie’s Pottery Suite,” a ground floor, self-contained cozy spot to rest after a busy day enjoying Prince Edward County.

An acclaimed potter for more than 30 years, Maggie now revels in multi-media.

As well as her signature organically-inspired porcelain (think Lord of the Rings meets Alice in Wonderland) she produces small watercolour paintings, polymer-decorated silverware and heroically beautiful jewellery of copper, bronze and semi-precious stones. Her work has been described as other-worldly, undulating, magical, but Maggie has a practical side,

too. You can actually use these beautiful things. With her experimental bravado and unorthodox methods, Maggie’s work seems caught in the art of becoming. She actively invites the imagination and participation of the viewer (or user) of her pieces to make them come alive.

David Drown’s work reflects his fascination with and inspiration from Far Eastern culture. From large vessels to small delicate cups, dishes and bowls, his knowledge of ceramic technology results in wonderfully functional, highly durable pieces with food safe glazes in more than 20 colours and finishes. Chefs love David’s pieces. The natural colours and simplicity of form let the food breathe. For a preview of Dave’s work, visit Tall Poppy Café in Wellington to eat off of a work of art.

La-de-dah Studio & Gallery The work of Frank De La Roche, sculptor extraordinaire, can easily be termed “great art” because of the artist, himself.

This convivial, internationally acclaimed a­ rtist has the ability to not only to draw you into his world but to captivate you with his work.

Although working mainly in Bronze and Stone, his d ­ iverse ­t alent also allows him to ­creatively push the ­elements of cement and metal into ­amazing works of art which you will find not just in his gallery but also outdoors.

His style is fluid with clean, ­uncluttered lines that “­suggest” rather than “state” definitively. This coupled with Frank’s unique sense of shape and ­texture take his art to new levels for the l­ overs of fine art.

Although most of his work is commissioned as it is his “bread and butter”, Frank prefers to sculpt more abstract, linear and bold pieces. In fact, he describes his art as “ultimately abstract realism” but you easily know what you are looking at. A groupings of people is clearly a group of people and a torso is a torso.

His inspiration is everyday life encompassing the people and moments which touch

his world with beauty and warmth. It is part of the reason why he has a recurring theme throughout his work involving people. with an emphasis on motherhood. You will find that his “people” are usually tall, linear and skinny ones created in rare woods, bronze, stone, metal and cement. Frank is fascinated that he can take something so cold and hard and turn it into something soft and warm which is both pleasing to the eye and to the touch, while expressing that which he sees.

By all accounts, Frank is a serious artist dedicated to his work; however, one does see his wry wit that emerges in some of his work, especially as to the names he gives his various sculptures, such as “Monkey Business” an outdoor set of monks, and “Cellulite Just Adds Interest”.

When it comes right down to it, a visit to Frank’s La De Dah Gallery studio is an unbelievable experience for anyone who appreciates the sheer artistic genius of someone who has a vision of what can come forth from nature’s raw elements and turns it into a reality while making people smile as they view his work and reach out to touch it. It is a glimpse into the world of Frank De La Roche, sculptor extraordinaire.

Our Native Artists Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory

For centuries Canada’s native people have capture the essence of nature, their surroundings, their spirituality and their history in ­phenomenal works of art whether they are intricately detailed sculptures, ­interpretive paintings, drawings and more. Their artistry is as special as the people themselves.

The County is fortunate to have as its neighbour - Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. Here, our neighbours offer something that many art lovers cannot find in too many places as unique as the art g ­ alleries and art centres found in TMT. Located just north of Prince Edward County, on the mainland, you can explore the following three places to view the works of local artists from the region.

As one of the most enterprising and ­prosperous of all of the First Nations’ Territories, you will find authentic native art work, which includes the works of internationally renowned artists Thomas Maracle and David Maracle as well as native crafts, beautiful handcrafterd sterling silver and turquoise jewellery, pottery and more than you can imagine.

In addition to the native art housed in these delightful art emporiums, there are also many other forms of their ­cultural works, including music, food and beautiful leather slippers, shoes and boots for you to purchase and take home to enjoy.

You are cordially invited to explore these modern forums of our cultural heritage and the opportunity to appreciate the wonders they bring to enhance our world and enrich our knowledge.

ffering an atmosphere of warmth, peace and serenity in a place rich in aboriginal ­ culture encompassing art, food and music, L’il Crow Native Arts Centre has become recognized as one of Ontario’s p ­remier First Nations Destination Experiences thanks to the passion of one enterprising family, Bigger is not always better as some may think. In fact, s­ ometimes greatness can arise from something very small in the most unexpected places. Many people have discovered exactly this when they have visited L’il Crow Native Arts Centre and enjoyed a true First Nations Experience of the highest caliber.

The brainchild of internationally renowned, stone sculptor and musician David R. Maracle and his lovely wife Kimberly, this rustic, little gallery may be tiny but it is mighty, especially in attitude!

It all began four years ago out of a simple necessity. With people like Nelson Mandela, Loretta Lynne, Dan Akroyd and the Emperor of Japan as patrons of David’s artwork, they decided that they needed some forum other than their garage to showcase his magnificent stone carvings, sacred healing gourds, hand crafted tomahawks and more. As a result, what once was their ­children’s “sandbox” became home to L’il Crow Native Arts Centre and the heart of Native Expressions.

As an artist and active promoter of First Nations-Mohawk Heritage, which strongly influences his own work, David saw this as an opportunity to not only display his art, but also the works of other high caliber, First Nations artists and artisans, which is how L’il Crowe ended up becoming the smallest gallery of its kind.

Due to its size, the L’il Crow Gallery is always in transition with a constantly revolving array of native art by First Nations artists from around the world. Here, visitors will find art from New Brunswick’s and Nova Scotia’s Mi’kmaq painters including bead and quill works, paintings by

feature gallery

F E A T U R E D A R T G A L L E R Y - L’ I L C R O W N A T I V E A R T S C E N T R E

Handcrafted Musical Instruments

Ojibway Mohawks and Crees as well as other Mohawk carvers from Tyendinaga, photography from Ontario’s Ojibway Nation, Inuit art, pottery from New Mexico as well as Navajo and Mohawk works from Six Nations. In addtion, there is always a stunning selection of hand carved and hand made jewellery

by Navajo, Hopi and Zuni artists from Arizona.

Now, the extent of the gallery’s offerings doesn’t just end here. Since music is also an integral part of David’s life as an award-winning, international acclaimed musician, Kimberly and David have managed to incorporate their passion for music as part of their tiny gallery. Stage Red is their outdoor concert venue which is a forum for both First Nations and non-aboriginal musicians. Throughout the summer, they play host to music events amidst a magical waterside setting, with 27 foot tee pee and all. It is a wonderful addition to the entire cultural experience with the added bonus that visitors are able to purchase the works of noted aboriginal musicians like David.

If all this is not enough of a cultural experience, visitors can enjoy their boutique café’s offering of organic coffee, espressos, specialty teas or their famous Sweetbird Smoothie along with other tasty and nutritious fare which they can sit and enjoy in the courtyard overlooking the bay.

You are invited to explore L’il Crow Native Arts Centre - this tiny but mighty, unique First Nations gallery, café, gift shop and outdoor performing arts centre to discover why it is merits being designated as one of Ontario’s premier First Nations Destination Experiences.

MAD DOG GALLERY

The County’s 1st Gallery

Since 1990, Mad Dog Gallery has been showcasing the works of local artists thanks to owner-artists Anne House and Brian Clark. Being artists, they realized that, with the growing number of other county artists, there was a need to have a place to display everyone’s work.

This is how they became the first art dealers in The County.

Today, the Gallery is home to fifteen local artists. Featured exclusively are the works of Rosemary J. Brown (pastels), Julie Duff (miniatures), Celia Sage (oils), Marianne Sanders (fibre), Susan Straiton (oils) as well as their own. Other artists include Tarmo Aun (sculptor), Hugh Charlebois (acrylics), Elizabeth Jackson-Hall (oils), Ian Forbes (hot glass), Doris Richardson (oils), Andrew King (acrylics), Valerie Fulford (jewelry & oils) and Susan Wallis (encaustic).

During the year, the Gallery hosts three or four solo shows,

alternating between group shows of about a dozen artists and smaller showings.

As resident artists, you will find Anne and Brian awaiting the pleasure of greeting you. You may even find them working on their own artistic endeavours.

An ar tist by p ­ assion and architect by profession, Brian paints whenever he gets an opportunity to do so. Using mainly acrylics, his work is representational and abstract.

For Anne, it is all about taking beautiful cotton fabrics turning them into works of art. From quilts, to table cloths to wall hangings, for twenty-five years, Anne has been designing and hand sewing her traditional and contemporary works of art combining modern technology with centuries old quilting techniques.

It’s worth the experience to visit Mad Dog Gallery to view County talent at its best.

Having originally started out in a little house on a side street in Wellington, today, SideStreet Gallery is housed in an ­historic building located on Main Street in Wellington.

Here,Paulette helps visitors to her gallery to select the “right” painting, sculpture or memory

of their visit to The County while continuing to work with the artists themselves..

Today’s visitor will find a grand selection of fine paintings – in the upstairs gallery; and a large choice of unique County memorabilia and gif ts, as well as the framing shop, downstairs. This ‘Upstairs-Downstairs’ gallery has something for everyone – resident and visitor alike.

A recent feature at SideStreet is the ‘Galler y within a Gallery’. Here, the works of recognized artists are displayed in a unique ‘private’ gallery set aside from the main display.

You are cordially invited to come and explore, at your leisure, the numerous treasures that you will find and you may find that perfect piece of art that reflects what you love or that special gift you need.

pas were originally rooted in the healing waters of natural hot springs with the word “spa” comes from the Latin acronym of “salus per aquam” or “health from water”; however, the focus of spas around the world have evolved and shifted to the everchanging needs of society over the past century.

Today, there are a variety of different types of spas from which to choose and not all oriented to water. The ever popular day spas or salon spas offer a simple, flexible means in which people can enjoy spa treatments on a more regular basis. They provide a healing break from one’s daily routines whereby one can have a soothing massage to de-stress, a beautifying facial or a rejuvenating body wrap to name a few of the many wonderful spa treatments available.

One of the great features of The County is the variety of spas where visitors can indulge in a wide range of specialized/custom treatments or therapies. You can find them in beautiful stately inns, intimate B&Bs,and even in a delightful refurbished garage! Some are by the water’s edge while overlooking the Bay of Quinte. Some spas will also bring your spa experience directly to you wherever you are staying for your added convenience - perfect for a couple’s spa experience.

Using ancient techniques infused with modern spa therapies, the County spas afford you the opportunity to indulge in whatever you desire, whether it is a s­ timulating massage, a s­ oothing hot stone treatment, a purifying facial, a tanning session before you hit the beaches, an aromatherapy treatment, a pedicure or manicure, along with a multitude of other spa and wellness services.

Ladies, whether you are with a friend or a group of girlfriends, this is an idyllic way to indulge in a special treat where you can laugh a lot and simply enjoy the commaraderie that a spa experience affords you. Make it a time to remember!

So what are you waiting for? It’s now time to retreat, relax and recharge at one of Prince Edward County’s many wonderful and intimate spas or at any one of its holistic wellness centres located within the surrounding countryside.

Stationed in Bloomfield, the heart of Prince Edward County, Pamela takes her portable massage unit when and wherever the need arises to service customers throughout the County.

Whether you are in for a soothing neck and shoulder massage, one that this writer could use right at this very moment, or if you want a body massage, Pamela affords you the opportunity to simply take ten minutes out of your day to indulge. You will find it amazing how in just a few minutes, Pamela can work her magic to make those tired, aching muscles feel great again.

Forget about not having the “time” to indulge in a little pampering session while enjoying the County because Relax Right Mobile Therapy is the answer to that “treat” and what better way than have Pamela and her mobile spa unit come to you or simply drop in on her at 288 Main St • Bloomfield

ar from the big cities where large retail fashion chains seem to rule, there thankfully still exists a few independent retailers whose innate sense of style transcends the normal fashion trends and whose passion for fashion allows them to help visitors to their shops develop their own individualistic style. Proprietor Kelly Roblin is one such individual whose love of fashion has made her shop one of The County’s main destinations for great fashions that are unique whether on the casual, fun side of styling or on the chic side of business dress.

197 Main Street Picton 613-476-6137

As one of The County’s youngest entrepreneurs, her small boutique aptly named “Kelly’s” is chock full of wonderful fashions, accessories and gift items for every age group. In fact, Kelly refuses to accept age barriers especially when it comes to fashion. For her, it is all about a “Look Good, Feel Good” philosophy, one that she constantly instills in her customers.

Being part of an entrepreneurial family, Kelly started out with a small craft business; however, it wasn’t long before she decided that she wanted to open her own specialty boutique. Selling mainly gifts and jewellery, eventually she found herself adding a few specialty t-shirts and pieces of clothing from Gentle Fawn, a line which she still carries today. With her mantra of “look good, feel good”, Kelly has always aimed at being different and offering fashions and merchandise that is unique enough for her clients to feel special with whatever their purchase.

With her innate sense of fashon, Kelly is constantly on the prowl for collections that set her apart from other retailers. Referencing books, fashion magazines and the internet, she has found that the smaller fashion companies from Canada, England, Denmark and the US supply her with what she wants for her customers. As she will tell you, her fashion instinct is reflexive

and immediate. She knows what she likes and what makes the fashions she selects special for her clientel. In addition to her eclectic array of trend setting fashions from the collections of Yumi, Numph, and Canadian designer Jennifer Glasgow, Kelly truly enjoys buying jewellery for the store from independent designers. Her store’s selection is always changing although she gets most of her most unique pieces from Tatty Devine.

As to her selection of giftware, visitors will find it to be as unique as the fashions she carries. There is something for everyone whether they’re musicians, cooks, artists or even babies and pets. In fact, having recently given birth of a baby girl six months ago, Kelly is drawn to trendy baby items including toys, cuddlies and more.

You are invited to drop into Kelly’s little boutique of unique “finds” and explore all that this charming shop offers. Get inspired by Kelly’s philosophy on fashion, fun, and life .... enjoy the experience!

It was always a joy for her to welcome others to the delights of Provence…

Under the spell of these ­ elights, in 1997, she d o p e n e d Fre n c h ­C o u nt r y on Roxborough Street in downtown Toronto, with the mandate of selecting only beautiful and unique items with a sense of whimsy, romance or casual elegance to showcase in her boutique.

When Viola visited Prince Edward County in 2009, she was taken by its beauty, charm and creative energy. Without thinking twice, she decided to move her business to Main Street, Picton. Her store was featured in Canadian House and Home magazine in 2010.

J u s t r e c e n t l y, F r e n c h Country moved to her new permanent location on Picton’s Main Street and is delighted with her spacious new venue where she can now showcase even more of her wonderful treasures for you to view and purchase.

to the vision and the passion of proprietor, Noreen Kalman.

Renowned for her work as an interior decorator to some of Toronto’s most prestigious homes and written up in various publications for her wonderful design and decor projects, Noreen fell in love with The County and its rich history during a visit.

Being recognized as North America’s second largest community for historic architecture, the County was a natural magnet for Noreen; therefore, it was no surprise that with Noreen’s passion for history and unique architecture that she was drawn to Hillier’s old General Store. Even in its dilapidated state, Noreen could envision breathing new life into it and restoring it for all to enjoy.

Now, several years later visitors welcome the opportunity to shop in her beautifully restored store

F E AT U R E E V E N T PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

sojourner2013 Celebrating

20 Years

of County Art!

I

f Art is your passion, then this is one event not to be missed!

With more than 300 artist studios and galleries scattered throughout Prince Edward County, it is next to impossible to see everyone’s work in just a few days; however, thanks to the efforts of four visionaries - Paul Adams, June Boddington, Bob Hintz and Estelle Klein, who saw art as an integral part of the County, visitors can see the best of what Prince Edward County offers at Eastern Ontario’s ­premier annual art exhibition - ART IN THE COUNTY.

Upstairs at

Books & Company 289 Main Street Picton

613-476-7901 Ex 214 Daily 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Admission: Free www.artinthecounty.com

This year, the highly acclaimed Art in the County is celebrating its 20th anniversary which is testament to just how much art has been and continues to be an intrinsic cultural element in the community. As a juried art show, this event was established to recognize and honour the best work by local artists and artisans from The County.

With the efforts of its first volunteer committee and founders, the inaugural event was launched in June 1993 with considerable thanks to the guidance of the Quinte Arts Council and seed money from the Community Development Corporation. For 18 years, Art in the County was hosted on the second floor of Picton’s historic Old Town Hal in the heart of the downtown community where many local artists garnered prestigious recognition for their artistic achievements. As the success of the event grew so did the number of artists wanting to enter their work. Originally, only showcasing two dimensional works of art, the space in the Old Town Hall was sufficient; however, over the years, the event was expanded to include works from every aspect of artistry. Today, it includes paintings in encaustic, oil, watercolour and acrylic, works in glass, fibre, ceramics, pottery, mixed media, photography, wood, fabric art, sculpture and even jewellery. As a result, the organization realized they needed more space. It was only in 2012, when organizers finally decided to relocated the event to the second floor of Books and Company on Picton’s Main Street as it offered substantially more space to showcase the growing talent in The County and where visitors could have a better opportunity to focus on the various works of art that each piece deserved.

Juror & Curator Katerina Atanassova

Juror Peter G.S. Large

Juror Linda Jansma

The process for this event is intense for everyone - artists, jurors and event organizers. Every June, County artists are invited to submit two pieces that they deem represents the best of their newest works. Once entries are received, three Canadian art professionals are brought in to judge each piece of artwork according to a set of recognized standards within the art community. This year, the organizers of Art in the County are thrilled to have as jurors Katerina Atanassova, Chief Curator for The McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg, Ontario, as well as Linda Jansma, Senior Curator for the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa and Peter G.S. Large, elected member of the Ontario Society of Artists and past president of the Society of Canadian Artists.

What makes this even more special for the organizers is the fact that Katerina not only will be acting as juror but also as curator for the 20th Annual Art in The County Exhibition and Sale.

Claudia McCabe, Chair of the event, acknowledges that with such a prestigious team of jurors, it puts the spotlight on the many talented artists and artisans of Prince Edward County.

As with past years, once judging has been completed, five Jurors’ Choice and five Honourable Mention Awards are announced. This year, in celebration of Art in the County’s 20th Anniversary, the 2013 Manly E. MacDonald Award for Excellence will be given to mark this 20 year milestone.

Although the awards are present at the commencement of the event, the annual People’s Choice Award which is determined by visitors’ ballots will be only be presented at the close of the exhibition as it has been done for the past nineteen years.

Since its inauguration, Art in the County has attracted not only local artists and artisans who welcome the opportunity to have their work judged by a jury of their peers, but also art lovers from around the world who, during their visit to the County, appreciate the chance to view and to buy from the works of art that are on exhibit. As a result, many of the County’s local artists have works that are now in homes, offices and private collections throughout the world.

It is thanks to the ongoing efforts of a small group of passionate volunteers that Art in the County continues to provide a forum which blends all aspects of art to create one exceptional exhibition.

Everyone is invited to join in Art in the County’s 20th Anniversary celebration and to take the time to see the best that The County has to offer on all levels of artistry with the added bonus of being able to purchase that special piece to enjoy seeing every day of the year in one’s own home or office.

The event opens it doors on June 27th at Books and Company and closes down on July 14th.

When you are there, make sure to vote for your favourite piece of artwork as there is no greater thrill for any artist to have not only the accolades of their peers but more importantly from you, the viewing public!

There are big events and small events but each and every one of them are are worthy of “the ­experience”. The following pages will highlight those County cultural events which have become renowned due to their o ­ utstanding caliber.

Now, “culture” is defined as those characteristics of a particular group of people which is determined by language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts. Culturally, what sets the County’s apart from other rural areas of Ontario is its amazing array of talent that exists within its own boundaries. It has become renowned as a “creative cauldron” that blends art, music, theatre, and ­culinary elements into great annual events for you to enjoy. From a national cheese fair to a juried showcase of artistry to Eastern Ontario’s largests one day arts and craft event to a recognized jazz festival and a regional food fair, you will discover there are numerous reasons to keep returning to The County for a visit.

If you are more into the theatre arts, then you may enjoy the opportunity to attend one of the live productions put on by Prince Edward County’s Festival Players. Every summer, this hard working group offers three Canadian-based plays in three different County venues - one a beautifully renovated barn, another in one of Ontario’s most unique little theatres and the last one under the Big Top Tent set in the midst of a beautiful vineyard.

When it comes to other smaller local events such as the annual Fish Fry at the Mariner’s Museum, Wellington’s Dragon Boat races, the local Fall fairs in Picton, Milford and Ameliasburgh and the various other community gatherings, you will find that you are part of The County’s extended “family” where everyone is welcome as it seems that The County’s motto should be “The More. The Merrier.” So, take the time to drop on in at those events that intrigue you and discover why The County draws people from far and wide.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNT Y SOJOURNER 2013 PEC FAMOUS PLAYERS SUMMER THEATRE JULY-AUGUST

Festival Players produces a yearly festival of high-calibre, ­professional theatre in the idyllic rural environs of Prince Edward County. They p ­ roduce an entirely Canadian season of plays, new works as well as those from the repertoire of o ­ utstanding previously produced work.

Be sure to indulge yourself in one of the three fantastic shows they are presenting this summer.

HIGHWAY 63: THE FORT MAC SHOW June 9th - 19th Highway 63 leads no-where but to Fort McMurray Alberta, the staging ground for the Athabasca Oil Sands Project.

It’s a fluid and funny piece of theatre that takes a look at the human scale of things. Fort Mac is a town exploding with change, bursting at the seams with a gold rush mentality. It’s a place where people’s lives, livelihoods and hearts are on the line.

Fields on West Lake 15768 Loyalist Pkwy-Bloomfield HIGHWAY 63: THE FORT MAC SHOW June 23rd - August 3rd Miss Caledonia is a charming, compelling and comic piece about growing up in rural Canada and looking for more. It’s the story of Peggy Ann Douglas, a young girl determined to escape the hay-baling, chicorypulling existence of 1950’s rural Canada, looking to make it to the big time and the silver screen.

Following in the footsteps of

Debbie Reynolds, Peggy Ann decides that the straightest road to Hollywood is through the local beauty pageants and she makes a run for it!

Mount Tabor Playhouse 2179 Cty Road 17, Milford THE NOTORIOUS RIGHT ROBERT & HIS ROBBER BRIDE August 6th-25th Grand Tent Show You’ll be in for a romp in true Festival Players style. The Notorious Right Robert and his Robber Bride is a Bonnie and Clyde tale set in 1930’s wildwoods Canada in the fictional one-horse town of Chickabiddy. Right Robert, a wanna-be bad guy, decides that robbing folks is the best way to make a name for himself. He happens upon Jenny Lundy, a poor farm girl with big dreams of her own. Their chance meeting sets them on a hilarious journey of crime and infamy… and the rest is cops and robbers history.

The mission of the Kaleidoscope show organizers is to create a beautiful and intimate experience for both artisans and attendees alike while promoting the celebration of exceptional craft and extraordinar y design – a contemporary arts and crafts movement, steering away from mass-produced items, changing the perspective of what a “craft show” now is.

covers), but the new era of the handcrafted artisan event that has evolved to a level that would leave even dear Granny awestruck.

With ever ything from upcycled clothing to jewellery, birdhouses to garden decor, pottery to stained or fused glass, bath and body, mixed media and so much more…

Kaleidoscope is an excellent oppor tunity to find that handmade something or decadent treat for yourself or someone special.

Have a glass of wine, stroll the beautiful grounds and spend the day with us in beautiful Prince Edward County. Hope to see you there in living colour!

A Walk Through Time Historic Walking Tours in Prince Edward County

By Peter Lockyer

Each summer, the small, rural community of Prince Edward County shares its rich past with visitors through walking tours of its side streets and special places.

Prince Edward County was once an epicentre of Canada. Settled in the 1780s

by Loyalists forced to flee their homes in the United States during the American Revolution, the area soon became a leading agricultural and shipping area exporting barley to the American brewing industry, apples to England, and from the 1880s through the 1960s, the capitol of the canning industry in Canada. It was also the childhood home of Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, who learned the legal profession as a teenage apprentice in a local law firm in the 1830s.

In recent years, several heritage organizations – the Glenwood Cemetery, The Museums of Prince Edward County, The Regent Theatre, and a local heritage communications firm, History Lives Here Inc., have joined forces to showcase this history through weekly, summer walking tours.

history

COUNT Y HISTORY

The objective is to celebrate community history. But the funds raised through the summer walks also support these heritage organizations. Maintaining these large heritage properties within a small community is a constant challenge, and the partners hope to establish an annual business that helps supports preservation of these significant properties.

Tours begin on the July 1st long weekend and carry through until Labour Day. However, arrangements for group tours of 10 or more people can be accommodated. Tours are approximately 90 minutes long and visitors can choose from several options.

All tours are booked through The Regent Theatre Box Office at 224 Main St. in Picton Thursday morning at 10:00 AM features a backstage tour of The Regent, the County’s centre stage for arts and cultural activities.

The Regent was once a warehouse on Picton’s Main Street.

The building was converted by the Cook Family who opened for business in 1918 hosting traveling vaudeville companies, orchestras, and silent movies. The Cooks ran their family business until the 1980s when the business and building were taken over as a community theatre. Now home to the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival each August and to a wide range of performances through the rest of the year, there is still evidence of the theatre’s early history on stage and in the dressing rooms below.

Friday night tours start at 6:30 PM at Macaulay Heritage Park at 35 Church Street in Picton, once the church and home of Reverend William Macaulay. Macaulay was an influential landowner and prominent personality in the 1820s and ‘30s spearheading development in this old part of Picton. Tours

PRINCE EDWARD COUNT Y SOJOURNER 2013

include a walk on the grounds of his stately, Loyalist home and through the graveyard of his church – now a museum. A walk to the gracious courthouse built in 1834 on land Macaulay donated concludes with a tour of the jail cells and gallows within the building – the site of a grisly double hanging of two local men in 1884.

Saturday tours start at 10:00 AM at the old Quaker meeting hall on the Main Street of Wellington. Now another of the County’s museums, the Wellington Museum celebrates the history of Quaker settlement and their leading role as hardworking, progressive farmers who helped make the area a dominant agricultural centre. Tours walk the quaint streets of the village of Wellington detailing architectural highlights of nearby buildings and the community’s long history as a shipping port for the canning industry.

Saturday evening tours start at 6:30 PM at the Glenwood Cemetery, 47 Ferguson St. in Picton. Tours begin in the recently restored, elegant stone chapel built in 1901 and then walk the spectacular grounds of this Victorian cemetery. Glenwood is home to some of the community’s leading citizens including temperance pioneer Letitia Youmans, Wellington Boulter, the father of the canning industry in Canada, and George McMullen, the American railway entrepreneur behind the Pacific Railway Scandal, which booted Prime Minister John A. Macdonald from office in the 1870s.

Located in the heart of the village of Wellington, the Wellington Heritage Museum was built in 1885 as a Quaker Meeting House. Today, it now features a v ariety of exhibits on local history. One of the main highlights to the museum is a tribute to the Quakers or “Society of Friends” who played a notable role in the County’s development.

In addition, the Douglas A. Crawford Canning Industry Collection conveys the importance of this industry and pays homage to Prince Edward County’s agricultural heritage where there were once over 75 different canning factories operating here between 1882 and 1996.

Established over 30 years ago, The Quinte Educational Museum and Archives (QEMA) has been temporarily located at the former Ameliasburgh Town Hall where various exhibits are on display and where people can research and review the archives.

It was thanks to the Montgomery family of Ameliasburgh donation of the Victoria Schoolhouse to QEMA that the archives have a home. The schoolhouse has been relocated to the Ameliasburgh Museum and Pioneer Village grounds and it is undergoing renovations. It is available for viewing during the hours of the Ameliasburgh museum.

The Quinte Educational Museum and Archives has an outstanding collection of artifacts and archival material celebrating the history of education in Prince Edward County and in Ontario. You are invited to help preserve the collection for future generations.

Inhabited by 5 generations of the Rose family, Rose House has survived the ravages of time since the early 1800s with few alterations. Being one of the first Marysburgh families to settle the area, Peter Rose arrived in Prince Edward County which was made up largely of United Empire Loyalists and Hessian (German) soldiers who had fought on behalf of the British in the American Revolution. The house is actually constructed from salvaged timber from the community’s original Lutheran Church. It was in this Spartan home that Peter and his wife, Christina Bongard, raised 11 children where eventually five generations lived before passing it on to the County for its intrinsic historical value of the County’s early beginnings.

Being surrounded by water, it is only natural that Prince Edward County has a rich in maritime history. In fact, the County offers a unique opportunity for visitors to discover the scope of how the shipping and fishing industries played an integral role in the development and settlement of the community.

Mariners Park Museum showcases the many ways Prince Edward County’s local inhabitants have earned their living over the past couple of centuries. From fishing and ship building to ice harvesting and rum running, there are many wonder aspects to this museum which will enlighten and delight both young and old. The lighthouse relocated from False Duck Island is a natural beacon to visitors where they can also enjoy the opportunity to explore Fort Kente and to picnic in the park.

As with many of the great lakes and the fury of Mother Nature, there are more than 50 shipwrecks located in the waters surrounding Prince Edward County. Fortunately, the Mariners Park Museum has become the home of many treasures retrieved during early diving expeditions and are on show to intrigue those who love history.

Built in 1830 and restored to the mid 1850s, Macaulay Heritage Park is one of the County’s many historic sites featuring several points of interest: Macaulay House, the historic Church of St. Mary Magdalene, now a Prince Edward County Museum; the old St. Mary Magdalene Parish Cemetery; the Heritage Gardens and the Carriage House.

Reverend William Macaulay was originally sent to this area as a missionary where he organized the Parish of Hallowell in 1823. He donated the land for the church and payed for much of its construction from his own personal wealth. Beyond his spiritual contributions, Reverend Macaulay also gave some of his property for the construction of both a school and a courthouse; the latter has been in use since 1831. Macaulay was instrumental in the naming of the town of Picton.

Fresh Tastes Better!

F

or years, nutritionists have been promoting the benefits of having plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in our diet; however, it has been only in the past fifteen years that a movement towards consuming healthier food has really taken off. With the health ramifications of poor diets caused by our penchant for both fast and processed foods, high fat and trans fats, and salt and food additives using ingredients that many of us cannot even read let alone pronounce, it is not surprising that we are finally paying closer attention to what we are consuming and discovering that “Fresh Tastes Better!”

With the County being an agriculturally driven community, local eateries and fine restaurants boast about using fresh, locally grown produce, county raised meats, and more in their culinary creations.

As a result, it is only natural that visitors welcome the opportunity to take home some of the County’s delectable bounty that they’ve enjoyed during their stay.

With local farmers’ markets such as the Milford Market, Campbell’s Orchard Market and Emm’s Farmers Market as well as farmer’s roadside stands like Hagarman Farms and Lakeshore Farms, you will find an abundance of farm fresh produce ranging from s­ easonal fruit, such as strawberries, r­ aspberries, ­blueberries, and apples, t­ o ­vegetables, ­including asparagus, sweet corn, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, ­carrots and more, too ­numerous to ­mention. In addition, you will find wonderful county-made jams and preserves plus honey, maple syrup and more for you to take home including fine artisan cheese from Black River Cheese and Fifth Town. Our County farmers and orchard growers invite you to enjoy the fruits of their labour as they work in harmony with nature to provide you with the very finest fruits, vegetables and products to enjoy a healthier lifestyle. Remember “Fresh Tastes Better!”.

cheese in Ontario more than a century later.

Its ­c onsistently ­s uperior cheese has gained more and more loyal ­customers and has garnered it numerous awards.

In April of this year, its 5 Year Naturally Aged Cheddar won for best aged cheddar in the 3 year and older category. Back in 2011, the company’s Mild Cheddar won the Canadian Cheese Grand Prix Award for the best Mild Cheddar in Canada with its Medium Cheddar was a finalist in its category.

Today, Black River Cheese has spread to Natural Health Food Stores and s­ pecialty sections of ­major supermarket chains where you can enjoy an abundance of their great cheddars, including their new Edwardsburg cheese launched last spring at the Great Canadian Cheese Festival as well as their renowned Maple Cheddar, Garlic & Pepper Cheddar and an array of delicious herb and spiced mozzarellas.

FIFTH TOWN ARTISAN CHEESE COMPANY Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Company was established in 2008 as a producer of artisan goat, cow, and sheep milk cheese. The new cheese making facility and attached retail space were awarded platinum LEED status upon completion, which is the highest designation awarded in the LEED system, hence the title “Canada’s Greenest Dairy”. Between 2008 and 2012, Fifth Town developed award-winning cheeses earning notoriety across North America.

In 2012 the plant changed ownership and has since been working to bring the facility back from its hiatus. While the factory goes through its transition phase, partnering artisan cheese makers are

making Fifth Town cheese inspired by the goat, sheep and cow milk cheese originally produced here and in keeping with the new owners’ Italian heritage. The store plays an integral role in the return of Fifth Town cheese to cheese lovers and will open May 30th, while regular production will be resuming by January 2014.

Accordingly, a variety of Canadian and Italian cheese – from fresh buffalo mozzarella and bagel chevre, to smear ripened and cave aged goat, sheep and cow milk cheese are available at The Fifth Town Cheese shop. Customers are invited to purchase a small tasting basket or a full picnic where they can sit and enjoy a peaceful lunch under the s h a d e o f t h e R e - S o u rce Pavilion or take in the view of Lake Ontario. More than cheese, Fifth Town is featuring artisan food products from

County Wines Take on the World!

Although the County’s viticultural industry is still fairly young by comparison to the Niagara region and others across Canada, it’s wineries can proudly boast of being able to take on the world. Most recently, Exultet Estates 2009 Chardonnay, Huff Estates 2008 South Bay Chardonnay and Norman Hardie 2008 County Chardonnay were among the 54 chardonnays from across Canada selected in a blind tasting to be part of a promotional expedition to New York by Canadian vintners called “Seriously Cool”. Considering the level of competition with those longstanding Canadian wineries that were vying for the privilege, it is definitely coup for these County wineries to have been selected purely on taste.

Fortunately, with it’s cool climate and limestone based soils, the County’s terroir echoes that of France’s where for centuries they have been producing world class wines. As a result, County wineries are proving that they too can rival the best that the world has to offer - with their Pinot Noirs, Pinot Gris, Chardonnays, Reislings, Cabernet Francs, Rosés, Gamays, Gewürztramines, and more.

With this being said, you are definitely in for a great wine tasting experience as you explore the Count’s numerous wineries, including its two breweries and cider house. Many of them, you will find, play homage to the County’s rich ancestral roots and have refurbished century old barns to house their operations such as the Grange of Prince Edward, Hillier Creek, Halfmoon Bay and Devil’s Wishbone, with even one - Exultet housed in an old cheese making factory and County Cider Estates in an century-old stone, beautifully refurbished pig sty. Others are in ­graceful buildings with Californian-style influencs like Waupoos Estates, while some reflect more modern trends in achitecture such as Huffs Estates.

The following pages will hopefully assist in guiding you to the best way to explore the County’s impressive vitacultural area and to maximize your enjoyment.

BREWERIES BARLEY DAYS BREWERY Known for its tasty, popular, and satisfying brews, Barley Days Brewery’s focus is quite simple: to craft excellent beers without compromise.

Barley Days Brewery’s line of premium all-season and seasonal beers represent classic brewing styles that use only the finest malts and hops, brewed in small batch sizes to insure quality.

The significance of Barley Days Brewery’s name lies in its ties with the past.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was the most impor tant event leading to the settlement of Prince Edward County. About five hundred Loyalists came in the first wave. In the latter half of the nineteenth century (18601890) Bay Barley, reputed to be the best malting barley available, along with hops,

were grown in the County and exported across Lake Ontario to U.S. breweries. Barley Days ­Brewery celebrates these times and the names and labels of its brews reflect the County’s proud heritage. ­Retail store, tours, tastings at the brewery 13730 Loyalist Prkwy • Picton

LAKE ON THE MOUNTAIN BREWING CO.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNT Y SOJOURNER 2013 Consecon. Some of the other beers you can expect to see this season are ... Pacific Gem I.P.A • Wild Hop Ale • Onokenoga Pale Ale • Lake on the Mountain Lager • English Ale • Oatmeal Stout • Farmhouse I.P.A • Pumpkin Ale and more. So if you plan to dine at their waterside inn, then be sure to taste some of their great brews!

County Road 7 • Picton

In 2007, Lake on the Mountain Inn & Resort opened a small onsite brewery and began ­b rewing a ‘Country Brown Ale’ and a ‘Cream Ale’. Due to their popularity, they continue to brew the original two ales as well as 10 other seasonal brews using fresh local ingredients, i­ncluding hops and barley organically grown at their farm on Lake

Brewed in Prince Edward County.

EASTSIDE WINERIES

PRINCE EDWARD COUNT Y SOJOURNER 2013

Eastside Wineries With 800 kms of shoreline alone, the County is not exactly a small island oasis. For many visitors ­travelling The County and sometimes even for its own ­ residents, driving around can be somewhat confusing. In fact, there is nothing more frustrating than going to one winery and driving to the next on your list that’s on the other side of island only to find that the third one on your list is back where you had just started out your tour. As a result, the following information might assist you in planning your wine tour, preventing you from having to waste precious pleasure time criss-crossing the county no matter how pretty the scenery.

To simplify things, the wineries of Prince Edward County have been grouped into two sectors according to their location.

Hopefully, this will allow you to maximize your time and enhance the pleasure of your wine tour experience while minimizing your gas consumption.

For those of you coming from the east side of the province, you might prefer to start off your tour with visiting the Westside wineries on your first part of your stay. This way, you can visit the Eastside wineries on your way home and take the FREE ferry across to the mainland. The same goes for those of you coming from the west side of the province but you might want to start off with the Eastside wineries allowing you to visit the westside ones on your return home.

On the Eastside, we recommend starting out at Black Prince Winery located just on the outskirts of Picton diagonally across from the Canadian Tire store. From there, head south on County Road 10 to County Road 24 and drive until Lighthall Road where it will take you to Lighthall Vineyards. Next is Exultet Winery on Royal Road, which crosses just south of Lighthall Vineyards.

Continue along Royal Road till Cty Rd 10, turn right and then right again onto Cty Rd 13 taking you to Half Moon Bay Winery.

At this point, you will have to backtrack along Cty Rd 13 till you come to Cty Rd 8 taking you to Waupoos where you will find Waupoos Estates Winery and County Cider Estates.

EASTSIDE WINERIES BLACK PRINCE WINERY Boasting the most varieties of wine in the County, Black Prince is located in the heart of this region just outside of Picton, the winery sits amidst other businesses and homes along the Loyalist Parkway.

A medieval theme runs throughout the retail space ­c ommemorating the Black Prince himself, Prince Edward (1330-1376) eldest son of ­E dward III, who became a legend in his own lifetime.

He was one of the most s u cce s s f u l co m m a n d e r s during the 100 years war and a model of chivalry and cour tesy. This premise is the foundation of all that is Black Prince Winery. They are the poster child of rural diversity, a model of chivalry and courtesy in every sense.

In addition to growing their own grapes on their 10 acre

v­ ineyard, they facilitate grape growers in Prince Edward ­C ounty who have not yet ­established a fully operational winery of their own. This suppor tive effor t allows smaller growers to make wine to their specifications and market this wine from the Black Prince facility. Labels include Hillier, Bella Vigne and the latest addition to this family of growers Harwood Estates located in the heart of Hillier’s wine growing region.

Visitors to Black Prince Winery can enjoy tasting these ­wonderful award winning wines while wandering out onto the deck overlooking the vineyards.

EASTSIDE WINERIES DEVIL’S WISHBONE WINERY Wi t h 1 1 a c r e s o f r o u g h farmland near Lake on the Mountain, just east of Picton, you will find Devil’s Wishbone Winery and the wry humour of Paul Gallagher and his ever faithful companion Samantha, a charming English Bull Terrier.

Several years ago, owner/ viticulturalist Paul Gallagher took a leap of faith when he decided to purchase a century old farm overlooking the mouth of the Bay of Quinte to establish his winery.

As one of The County ’s newest wineries, Devil ’s Wishbone Winery has quickly established a reputation for producing fine wines which show an impressive depth of flavour and aroma.

The winery offers a variety of wines including Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Cabernet Franc; however, Paul Gallagher offers

one wine that will certainly put Devil’s Wishbone on the map ... a Riesling according to Canadian wine aficionado David Lawrason.

Like many County wineries, Devil’s Wishbone’s tasting room is located in a huge, century barn that is undergoing a total refurbishing with all the rustic charm you can imagine within its three tiered levels. Just like his passion for creating great wines, this another one of Paul’s as he goes about to breathe life back into the old barn giving it a totally new dimension that not only the adds another chapter to the old barn but intrigues visitors from afar.

Swing on over to Devil’s Wishbone Winery and enjoy the view while sampling some of their wonderful selection of fine wines.

EXULTET WINERY Exultet is the Latin word for “song of rejoicing”. Joy and praise for wines that are transcendent and meaningful, emerging from ­darkness. Timeless and eternal, Exultet wines are products of their unique terroir, not to be imitated. They are not blended, but are a pure and true expression of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Today, the winery boasts of having won not only once but for the second time in a row Located in the most southern portion of Prince Edward County, a centuries’ old farm, formerly a dairy operation, cheese factory, and apple orchard, has been resurrected to a new life, enriched with flowering grapevines and aging wines.

Reusing of the former 1870’s Royal Street Cheese Factory as their winery has allowed for minimal impact to the

environment, while at the same time preserving a piece of County rich heritage.

Vineyards, first planted in 2004, are nur tured on limestone rich soils in full view of Lake Ontario. The hand-tended and hand-picked fruit are grown with organic materials whenever possible and minimal chemical use. Soil, climate, and geography have come together to produce identifiable wines, unique in quality and expression.

Their winemaking philosophy is to use low tech, traditional methods. By choosing to make wine in this way they will always have limited quantities, but they are be able to focus on what is most important. It all makes a difference to them.

They choose not the world’s short term concerns, but those eternal - those worth exulting!”

Half M oon Bay Winer y is located in the original homestead post and beam barn, which had been damaged by fire in the early 1920s and is gradually being restored.

Owners, Brian Mitchell and Margaret Korman love for nature and gardening began at an early age, growing up on family farms… combined with a love for wide open spaces and a growing passion for the ‘wine experience’, lead to a three year search through Niagara, the Okanagan and Prince Edward County for the perfect terroir and a better life, away from the Big City. The bays of Prince Edward County stole their hearts… more specifically, the serene water front nestled between South Bay and Half Moon Bay.Thus began a life of expanding piles of rocks, broken equipment and fabulous wines.

LIFT HAUS WINERY Lift Haus winery is a family run “farm” vineyard located in what is often referred to as “­Winery Row” - along Closson Road just north of the town of Wellington.

The Evans family heritage ­extends back 4 generations - back to Loyalist days. So true to their roots, the idea to start a vineyard and winery took seed back in 2002. What started as a dinner table ­d iscussion soon became a quest to find the perfect piece of land that would be ideal for growing grapes.

They knew that they wanted to make Pinot Noir - despite the fact that Pinot Noir has a reputation as the heartbreak grape; however, for the Evans family, there is nobility of taste to this red wine that sets it apart from other red wines.

Eight years later, the Evans opened Lift Haus Winery. The name is primarily derived from the amount of constant heavy lifting that occurs on a daily and weekly basis at the vineyard. It is also ­representative of the amount of sheer labour intensive ­attention and work that goes into the ­n urturing of their crops and reflects the 6 years spent living in Holland and Germany on the NATO base.

Today, using only 100% locally only grown grapes, Lift Haus not only pays homage to the Evans’ ­Loyalist heritage and to the fabulous Pinot Noir, but also offers a Cabernet Franc, a Chardonnay and their own P ­ inot Gris along with their new Pinot Rosé.

So come on over to Lift Haus to enjoy wines that will certainly lift your spirits and refresh you as you continue your tour of The County at Lift Haus Winery 805 Closson Road • Hillier

Norman Hardie Winery is situated in the midst of its vines in beautiful Prince Edward County. After working for the very best producers of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Burgundy, Oregon, California, New Zealand and South Africa, winemaker and owner Norman Hardie first opened his doors to the public in 2005 and his wines can now be found across Ontario, across many Canadian Provinces as well as in the US ,China, Denmark and Japan.

Right from his inaugural vintage his wines have garnered international acclaim. Matt Kramer, of the Wine Spectator chose the 2008 County Chardonnay as one of his wines of the year. The 2010 County Chardonnay received top rating for North American Chardonnays in the European publication of The World of Fine Wine.

All the wines are made in small batches as naturally as possible, with the philosophy that great wine starts in the vineyard.

The wines are crafted using traditional methods to express terroir. Natural yeasts build layers of complexity, lees contact develops the wines structure and malolactic fermentation in late spring rounds out the Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays.

Norman Hardie’s wines tell a story of place developed from his passion and expertise.

SUGARBUSH ESTATE WINERY Visit the garagiste winery of the county and discover the passion behind Rob and Sally’s 100% estate-grown wines.

They are a small winery and only produce wines from the grapes grown on their property.

With a lot of help from their friends and small staff, they ­perform all aspects of wine production. They do all of the work to make sure that it is done right. Their goal is to produce and sell the highest quality wine possible.

They currently have 8.5 acres of vines consisting of Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Gamay and Cabernet Franc. Another 2.5 acres of vines were just planted in 2010, but that is where they plan to stop.

They want to be big enough for their farm to support their family needs but small enough to allow them to control all aspects of their operation producing high quality wines for you to enjoy while enjoying their life at the same time.

Children and well behaved pets are always welcome.

After discovering the beauty and potential of the County during a tandem bicycling trip in 2002, Cliff and Dorothy Stanners together with their son Colin and his wife, Mary Macdonald, decided to start the vineyard and winery.

From the beginning, their passion for the land included using sustainable, organic v i n e y a r d p r a c t i c e s . Th e resulting fruit is transformed into Stanners Vineyard

PRINCE EDWARD COUNT Y SOJOURNER 2013

award winning wine, excellent reds and whites, with complex, bright fruit flavours, borne by balanced acidity and minerality, reminiscent of some of the fine wine of Burgundy but having a County “signature” of its own.

C o l i n ’s a p p r o a c h t o winemaking is to be meticulous, patient, and to use minimal, gentle handling at every stage, allowing for the clear expression of each unique vintage.

The Stanners welcome you to chat with them at their charming straw bale tasting room, with its thick walls and stacks of oak barrels. Bring your picnic outside under the umbrellas at tables in front of the winery. Stroll down Station Road for a nature hike on the Millennium Trail.

In Prince Edward County, there are 14 conservation areas, ranging in size from small roadside ­parkettes, scenic ­­look-outs and water ­control structures to ­spectacular parcels of land such as Macauley Mountain which offer some 25 km of hiking and mountain biking trails. There is much to see and enjoy at Macauley Mountain’s 178 hectares. The ­conservation area boasts three distinct habitats lowland, a high ­limestone plateau and an ­impressive east-west ­forested ­escarpment.

Connecting the hiking trails is the Whattam’s ­Memorial Walkway, ­containing some 1,000 trees planted in memory of local residents. Birdhouse City is located here too, a site containing over 90 nesting boxes, many ­fashioned after ­historic buildings in the county.

The Harry Smith C ­ onservation Area in Ameliasburgh is the f­ ormer site of the h ­ istoric Roblin’s Mill, removed in 1963, and reconstructed as a w ­ orking mill in Toronto’s Black Creek Pioneer Village. There is history in all of our ­conservation areas, but visitors to Beaver Meadow Wildlife ­Management Area come mainly for the ­woodland and wetland birds that can be found in this unique spot on County Road 10, just six kilometres south of Picton on the way to Sandbanks.

Sweeping vistas are yours for the taking at Rutherford Stevens L­ ookout o ­ verlooking Smith’s Bay, Sunset L­ ookout at Muscote Bay, or from a twenty metre limestone cliff at Little Bluff Conservation Area ­overlooking Prince Edward Bay. The H.J. ­McFarland Area along Highway 33 (Glenora Road) ­offers boat launching and ­picnicking ­opportunities along the shore of Picton Bay, while the Henry Leavens Conservation Area at the Bloomfield Mill Pond is just a nice place to stop and relax, as is the Milford Mill Pond Conservation Area in Milford.

There are several other areas too in Prince Edward County that are nearby and ­natural.

Don’t forget to visit Sandbanks Provincial Park, the largest bay mouth sand bar separating fresh water in the world. This bar of mountainous dunes, some as high as 25 metre, were created over many centuries by ­prevailing westerly winds. Despite the dry, harsh conditions there are many interesting plants and ­animals that eke out a ­living in these desert-like ­conditions.

For more information on these and other c­ onservation areas in Prince Edward County, pick up a brochure from the office at Macauley Mountain.

LAKE ON THE MOUNTAIN

TIMBER ISLAND

One of Prince Edward County’s most renowned attractions is Lake on the Mountain. With its constant flow of clean, fresh water, with no apparent source, 60 metres above Lake Ontario, it is the County’s natural wonder.

It has a delightful tale of love which the Mohawks tell where they once offered gifts to its spirits. At one point, it was thought to be bottomless. From its vantage point, visitors can view not only Lake on the Mountain on the one side but garner a panoramic vista of the Bay of Quinte, the Glenora Ferry and the mainland.

PICNICS AND DAY USE

Lake on the Mountain is a day use park only where you can enjoy a walk or a quiet picnic overlooking either the mountain lake or the Bay of Quinte. It is a perfect serene spot to take your canoe, rowboat or sailboard since no motorboats are allowed.

A SEEMINGLY MAGICAL ATTRACTION

• located nearly 62 metres above the Bay of Quinte • it seems to have defied all known geographical and geological theories • there are tales of volcanoes, meteorites and massive glacial whirlpools • the most accepted theory is that it is a collapsed doline, an odd feature found in areas with limestone rock foundations such as the county - a sinkhole • it seems to have no visible main water source but there are several visible streams pouring into the spring • the lake’s outlet stream flows through a shallow channel, which tumbling over the Prince Edward Escarpment into the Bay of Quinte below - a ­sheltered waterfall.

A PLACE OF MANY MYTHS & FACTS

• to the Mohawks, it is Lake of the Gods (Onokenoga), where it is believed that strong spirits dwelled within its deep waters. Every spring, the Mohawaks offered gifts to the spirits in order to ensure a successful crop that year • early settlers believed the lake was bottomless while others thought Lake on the Mountain had subterranean passage and distant water source • Lake on the Mountain and the community of Glenora at the base of the escarpment are also steeped in Ontario’s past • here in the County, saw mills and grist mills were built and operated from 1796 until the early 1900s • the Glenora Mills buildings have been preserved and are used by the Ministry of Natural Resources as a fisheries research station.

As one of the County’s largest conservation areas, Beaver Meadow Wildlife Management Area has 89 hectare (220 acre) that is home to a large wetland that is the sanctuary for wood ducks, osprey and herons. Mainly consisting of deciduous woods and a large plantation of wild shrubs, it is also home to a variety of songbirds. There are two short hiking trails branch off from the parking lot, each ending at a scenic observation platform overlooking the wetland. You will find an abundance of flora including wild ginger, trilliums, baneberry, jack-in-the-pulpit and Indian-pipe - just a few of the wildflowers that may be found here, along with a mix of trees - white birch, American beech, black walnut, butternut, shagbark hickory and six species of maples. Acquired by Quinte Conservation in 1970 for wildlife management, the renowned Ducks Unlimited also has a dam on this site.

For a very brief period in the early 1900s, Beaver Meadow existed as an experimental farm complex. G.W. McMullen was involved in growing celery and mushrooms, harvesting sugar turnips, producing maple syrup, raising chickens and manufacturing explosives - a little incongruous mix indeed!

It was due to his creativity that Birdhouse City became a wonderful County attraction and home to the t­ housands of birds which make the county their home each year. Such was the level of his achievement in creating the ­fabulous ­birdhouse, that he inspired schools, ­businesses and local ­residents to take part in a county wide project to produce a city of birdhouses which today totals 80. Like the Massassauga Hotel, many are reproductions of other historic buildings you will find in the County. There are birdhouses of every shape and size imaginable and many bird lovers make it a destination point in their travels through the County. Be sure to include it in yours!

PRINCE EDWARD COUNT Y SOJOURNER 2013

A BIRD’S EYE POINT OF VIEW Because of its location in eastern Lake Ontario, Prince Edward County is a natural catch-all for migrating birds both spring and fall. The points of land along the southern shore e ­ specially provide o ­ pportunities during the spring migration. Point Petre, Salmon Point, West Point (­Sandbanks ­Provincial Park) and Huyck’s Point have all been identified as important focal points to view migrating birds.

Of all the points of land sprinkled along the south shore of the county, Prince Edward Point, located at the southeaster end of the Long Point Peninsula in South Marysburgh Township, has been identified as the most important. It is a major staging area in spring and autumn for migrating birds. In fact, there is no other location on the Canadian side of lake Ontario where densities and ­abundance of migrants are known to compare with those at Prince Edward Point.

ALBURY SWAMP

Albury Swamp is a Class 1 wetland located near the hamlet of Albury, west of Rednersville and east of Carrying Place.

Part of the swamp is owned

by Apple Doorn Farms. Part of their pick-your-own operation has been the ­d evelopment of a wetland trail leading through a large ­d eciduous woods to a v­ iewing p ­ latform where a great blue heronry can be viewed. Weekend tours are provided by Apple Doorn Farms, and ­for ­arrangements call 613-968-8783.

SAWGUIN MARSH

The S­ awguin Marsh is one of the largest cattail marshes in Prince Edward County where a leisurely canoe paddle will ­produce least bittern, osprey, rails, occasional waterfowl and other birds typical of cattail marshes. Sawguin Creek ­empties into the Bay of Quinte.

BIG ISLAND MARSH

This cattail is over 800 h ­ ectares.

The channel has become choked with cattails so the birding opportunities aren’t as convenient as at Sawguin; however, some good viewing can be had right from the causeway and the roads that run p ­ arallel with the marsh. Black terns, both species of b ­ itterns, swamp sparrows and marsh wrens are regulars. H ­ istorically, king rails

once occurred here. Sharp-tailed sparrow, cinnamon teal and great egret have also been seen here.

MACAULEY MOUNTAIN CONSERVATION AREA

This 178-hectare c­ onservation area contains a wide range o f h a b i t a t i­n c l u d i n g a steep ­w ooded ­e scarpment.

O venbirds, w ­ inter wrens, ­rose-breasted grosbeaks and wood ­t hrushes are common ­summer r­ esidents. See famed “Birdhouse City” a six-acre sub-­ division of some 90 nesting boxes fashioned after well-known structures in the county.

SANDBANKS PROVINCIAL PARK

This popular summer ­ destination is also an ­excellent birding area. The wide diversity of habitat produces profitable birding in all seasons. Nesting bank s­ wallows, wild turkeys, ­­r ed-­b ellied woodpecker, orchard oriole, blue-grey gnat catcher and other birding treats await the visitor.

­ bservation point for o ­migrating hawks, eagles and turkey vultures. Large winter ­concentrations of water fowls.

LITTLE BLUFF CONSERVATION AREA

Situated some 18 meters above Prince Edward Bay, this 28 hectare area commands an excellent view of the bay and a small cattail marsh where waterfowl may be viewed.

Nature trails meander through red cedar, deciduous trees and along a barrier beach and marsh.

POINT PETRE WILDLIFE

Deciduous woods and low ­s hrubbery areas adjacent to highway offer good birding

during migrations periods and excellent hawk watching during fall migration. Much of the area to the left of the highway, former Department of Nation Defence land, offers savannah, wetlands and treed areas. Caution is advised when exploring this area as road and lane ways are narrow and become flooded in the Spring.

BEAVER MEADOW WILDLIFE AREA

This 89 hectare conservation area contains a large wetland that harbours wood ducks, osprey, and herons. Deciduous woods and a large plantation of native shrubs on the property are excellent for song birds. Call 613-4761506 for more information.

ANGLING IN THE COUNTY

PRINCE EDWARD COUNT Y SOJOURNER 2013

Angling

Catching a Big One! Surrounded by water, this island community boasts of having some of the best sport fishing to be found in and around the Great Lakes. It has garnered the region international recognition, especially for its walleye (pickerel) with a huge Kiwanis Fishing Derby which opens the angling season every year at the beginning of May.

3rd Hole at Wellington on the Lake Golf Course

What is it about Golf that causes many of us to run out and swing a club at a ball as soon as the snow melts? Is it some type of ­primeval instinct? Does it have something to do when we carried clubs around as a “weapon of choice”? Now, one could possibly attribute some aspects of this game to man’s quest to conquer - in this case a small ball; however, there is a great deal to be said about the sheer pleasure of being outdoors in the fresh air, surrounded by nature - even if you are chasing after a small ball with a big club.

Whether you are an avid golfer looking for new courses to challenge your skills, a couple who enjoy hitting a few practice balls at a scenic driving range or simply a family looking to enjoy the great outdoors with a game of miniputt, The Bay of Quinte Region, in which Prince Edward County belongs, offers a multitude of e­ xceptional golfing opportunities amidst some of Ontario’s most beautiful scenery.

The County and the surrounding area offer a wonderful choice of venues to play. The Picton Golf and Country Club, Barcovan and Wellington on the Lake Golf Courses invite you to play in The County as well as Briar Fox Golf & Country Club which is only a brief drive north of Highway 49’s Skyway Bridge .

Tee times are not always required but are highly recommended. Dress codes are in effect; yet, the pace is always friendly, fun and relaxed. You might even enjoy a teaming up with some of the local residents as they can warn you what to watch out for to avoid those infamous “Mulligans”.

In addition, Club rentals are available as well as l­essons should you decide that this is your opportunity to learn. Go ahead, call! Your tee time awaits you!

The County is fortunate to have several wonderful beaches as you may have discovered in the Attractions section.

Naturally, these beaches allow you the pleasure of am ­ ultitude of water sports whether you love to windsurf, waterski or simply swim. Although the depth of the waters at some of the beaches may be very gradual, please realize that there are no ­lifeguards at any of the county’s public beaches and it is up to you to make sure not to go beyond your ability to swim or out of your comfort zone. If you have children v­ acationing with you, please make sure that they are attended to at all times with adult’s supervision.

Another great water sport is water skiing. For those of you who want to enjoy a few hours of great fun, drop into Sandbanks Beach Resort and ask Tim Barrett for a booking.

One of the most popular water sports in the County is Windsurfing. The brisk breezes off the shoreline are perfect for windsurfers to take to the waters and enjoy a great day of surfing.

To discover some of the County’s “hidden treasures”, one has to search beneath the waters ­s urrounding Quinte’s Isle. Over two-thirds of Great Lakes shipwrecks occurred in the waters around Prince Edward Point including two & three -masted schooners, steamers, etc...

This is an opportunity to discover this “Graveyard of Lake ­Ontario”. Our Mariners’ Park M ­ useum on the way to Long Point has a wide source of information about Prince Edward County’s mariners’ history. Be sure to include it on one of your tours.
