Old Town Hall Theatre

This theatre is the location of an unfound gem, the Old Town Hall, a beautiful venue. It is a picturesque building restored with the original Italianate architectural design. On the exterior, you can view its Florentine windows and brickwork. This hall was where Pauline Johnson graced the stage and performed in the Opera house and where Sir John A. Macdonald addressed residents of Aylmer. A wonderful stop for a place of arts and entertainment in Aylmer.

Pinecroft

Pinecroft is a popular business in Elgin County, including a restaurant, pottery studio, and gallery/gift shop.

The restaurant has a patio and indoor seating, with reservations strongly recommended—the business supplies fine-quality earthenware, stoneware pottery, and other unique Canadian gifts. The Pinecroft Gallery and Gift Shop occupy a log cabin originally built in 1934, which attracts a variety of wildlife (from Blue Heron to Canadian Geese) due to the building overlooking a pond. The forest setting is favoured by creative artists, reminiscing the Northern Muskoka.

The Green Frog Tearoom is the restaurant on-site at Pinecroft that serves home-cooked lunches with items on the menu, such as freshly baked bread, soups, salads, and sandwiches. The menu also has entrées, including chicken, dumplings, and burgers. Across the pond of Pinecroft, you will find a studio where the potters work their creativity. Visitors can also sign up for pottery classes held throughout the year.
