The Sunflower Farm

Get your camera ready for this one. The Sunflower Farm in Beaverton is as picturesque as it gets with 20 acres of Sunflower fields and a sunflower-shaped trail that winds through them.

Be sure to sit on the old tractor and snap a pic. Chat with Ursula, the owner of the farm and you’ll be sure to catch the farming bug. She is certainly passionate about sunflowers, but more than that, she’s passionate about farming in general and about sharing her love and appreciation with all who visit the Sunflower Farm. Your visit will not only fill your day with beauty, your camera with memories, and your heart with a love for farm life, but of course, you’d be smart to fill your backseat with sunflowers too.

Old Stone Church

National Historic Site of Canada

This Presbyterian church was constructed in 1853 and remains relatively unchanged to this day, gaining a National Historic Site of Canada designation in 1991.

The church, known as St. Andrews, is one of the finest examples of an early stone church still standing in Canada. It is of particular historical interest due to its local stone construction, plaster work, high round-headed windows, and its interior furnishings and woodwork—which are not only surviving but stand in exceptionally fine condition. The building lies on a picturesque, wooded lot surrounded by a stone wall. This is truly a rare piece of history, well worth a visit.

  2. The Lindsay lock links the many communities of Kawartha Lakes.
  3. The jewel of the Kawarthas is home to the Fenelon Falls lock.
  4. The Rosedale lock offers a calmer area of the waterway for paddling and kayaking.
  5. And finally, the Kirkfield lock awes onlookers with its size.

Beaverton Fish & Chips

This local favourite has been on the block for years. The dining room is nothing fancy, though it is pleasantly bright and sunny, you’re not there for the ambience—you’re there for the fish and chips. And you won’t be disappointed.

This long-standing gem is known for its large portions and consistent quality. Choose between halibut, haddock, cod, or sole—all will leave you satisfied and wanting to come back. I’d say you’ll want seconds, but the truth is, you’ll be too full. They serve a good diner breakfast as well, but it’s the fish and chips that have made this place a Beaverton institution. Don’t miss out.

Beaverton Thorah Eldon Historical Society

Beaverton was first settled in 1822. The Beaverton Thorah Eldon Historical Society offers tours of three unique buildings with historical importance to the area.

There is a Settler’s log cabin complete with pioneer’s tools on display, a brick Victorian house that showcases the way of life for settler’s nearing the turn of the twentieth century, and perhaps most interesting is the old stone jail. The jail was moved to its present location and completes the trio perfectly.

Tours are led by well-informed and enthusiastic guides on a by-donation basis. There is a gift shop in the basement of the log cabin offering memorabilia ad local crafts. Perfect for the history buff.
