Lakeside Studio Gallery

On the shore of Lake Ontario, you can find the Lakeside Studio Gallery, home to works from up-and-coming local artists. The gallery limits itself to artists in and near Bath who are in their first five years of displaying their work, so if you want to see the future of Canadian art, this is your place!

The resident artist and owner of the gallery, Sarah Anderson, creates art inspired by the scenery both around the Bath area and the place she has travelled to. If you’re a novice looking for guidance, the gallery also offers classes and workshops.

Fairfield-Gutzeit House

While in the area, you can also visit Fairfield-Gutzeit House, a Victorian-era house that overlooks Lake Ontario.

The home was originally built by William and Benjamin Fairfield in 1786 as a simple 1.5-story structure that has since been altered. Specifically, these alterations took place after 1938, when the house was brought back to the Fairfield family after being given to different owners in the 1860s.

 

The house was bought by Mabel Fairfield Gutzeit, granddaughter of William Fairfield. Since her husband’s surname had been Gutzeit, it was added to the building name for the house as we know it today. Although renovations have taken place, the goal has been to keep the house as authentic to the Victorian era as possible. For a trip through time and into Bath’s early history, visit the Fairfield-Gutzeit House.

Bath Museum & Visitor Information Center

Keeping up with a peek into history, you can visit the Bath Museum and see the transition of Bath from pre-colonial times to World War II, with the oldest items being 400 years old. This museum started a little unconventionally: as a pop-up club. In 1936 Bath residents first enjoyed a display of artifacts set up in the Town Hall for Dominion Day. The club eventually expanded to Canada Day and functioned as a regular pop-up until, in the 1980s, some locals worked with the municipality to open a seasonal museum exhibit in Layer Cake Hall. It shifted in 2009 to the Old Town Hall, where you can find it today!

MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Co.

For beer fans, MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Co. may be the most exciting attraction on this list. This brewery makes beer with hops, wheat, and barley grown on the 200-year-old farm it’s built.

The brewery offers a range of experiences: a Taproom & Bottle Shop at the bottom of the Old Barn for those who want to grab a drink, brewery tours for those interested in learning a little more about the process behind the beer, and bar events like ‘Cask Night’ for those who want to add something special to their drinking experience.

Finkle’s Shore Park

If you want to spend the day outdoors, drop by Finkle’s Shore Park. The park has a fascinating history: it was home to Finkle’s brewery and tavern and was also the site of the first hanging in Upper Canada. Now, much more child-friendly, the park has a short 0.8km trail and is known for the Finkle Shore Gazebo. Built in 1997, the gazebo is primarily an event venue and can be booked for concerts, weddings, and any of the like!

Loyalist Trading Co.

Set within a historic 1800s country store, Loyalist Trading Co. promotes Canadian culture and products. What started as a personal store for the gourmet preserves that the owners made expanded to include more products from the owners and products from other local and Canadian producers.

Selling anything from food to jewelry to toys, the store only focuses on one central selling point: the product must be made in Canada. Adding to the theme are the owners’ two goats, Grover and Lenny. For the authentic Canadian country experience, Loyalist Trading Co. is the place to go!
