2010 Tour Guide

Putting art in its place

Discover Colborne & Cramahe Township. Real people you’ll be glad you met.

When you enter this venerable classical building on Colborne’s main street be prepared to be impressed. The high, barrel-vaulted ceilings reflect the building’s original purpose – to protect the documents that recorded the district’s land ownership. Today it protects the works of art forged by the Colborne Society of Artists. Founded 12 years ago, this talented group has regular shows of outstanding sculpture, paintings, crafts and mixed media. Drop in throughout the year for a 21st century experience in a 19th century place.

Apple Route President’s Message The Apple Route celebrates a special region of Ontario. Only an hour east of Toronto by car, the Apple Route offers a vibrant range of activities. This southern area of Northumberland County, pressed between the Great Pine Ridge and Lake Ontario has, for 200 years, enjoyed a rich agricultural history that brought both prosperity and continuity. Nestled in the rolling hills of Eastern Ontario’s “Apple Country”, the Apple Route meanders through pleasant orchards and friendly towns & villages between Port Hope and Trenton. The core of the Apple Route follows signs along Heritage Highway 2 and “spurs” take the traveler to scenic Presqu’ile Park near Brighton, historical Lakeport, past Fort Kente at Carrying Place and connects with the Loyalist Parkway. Numerous craft stores and roadside markets carry apple-theme items. The scenic countryside, pleasant orchards and friendly communities along the Apple Route are a haven for visitors with an appetite for the simple pleasures of a slower pace of life governed by the land, the water and the seasons. From several harbours you can sample trophy fishing on Lake Ontario. Museums and galleries flourish in all the communities along the route and more than sixty antique stores cater to tastes from the primitive to the formal. Beaches, public parks, wildlife sanctuaries and public footpaths all provide access to some of the prettiest landscapes in southern Ontario. Presqu’ile Provincial Park is an enormous resource for campers and birders. All along the Route you’ll be delighted by the range and sophistication of dining and accommodation facilities. Spas, bed and breakfasts, country inns, hotels and motels abound; each provides helpful advice and suggestions for making the most of your visit. For more information on the Apple Route, and to get your free copy of The Apple Route map visit our website at www.appleroute.com or e-mail info@appleroute.com or call the Brighton and District Chamber of Commerce at 613-475-2775. The Apple Route will be getting ready for another great year. Membership in the Apple Route includes a listing in our very popular Apple Route map as well as on our website www.appleroute.com. Any businesses interested in becoming a member of the Apple Route should contact Lee Ostapuk at the Brighton and District Chamber of Commerce at 613-475-2775 or at info@appleroute.com.

Colborne Enjoy the Beauty of Colborne. Situated in the heart of Cramahe Township, find a village sprinkled with vintage architecture, historic murals, the widest main street in the county and an attractive park in the centre of town called Victoria Square that boasts its own cannon. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to visit the Colborne Art Gallery in the attractive old Registry Office in downtown Colborne. A visit in the spring during the Apple Blossom Tyme Festival will give you a sense of the continuing importance of agriculture to the area.

Grafton In 1784, a treaty with the Mississauga Indians ceded a large tract of land along the north shore of Lake Ontario to the British Crown. A number of villages sprang up along the shoreline, one of which was to become the village of Grafton. Originally called Haldimand Corners, the village was located at the junction of Danforth Road, (1800), the road leading southward towards Grafton Harbour, and the surveyed baseline road from Trenton (1790). South of Grafton the Nawautin Nature Sanctuary and public park allow visitors to enjoy the view over Lake Ontario. Take a break from driving by stretching your legs along the Waterfront Trail.
