The old Fergus Market on the banks of the beautiful Grand River is a large historic building once filled with market shops and vendors. But long before that, this site was home to the Beatty Brothers’ stone foundry.

It was built in 1878, overlooking the waterfalls in downtown Fergus. Today, this historic structure retains its character and has added to its allure by being a renowned shopping destination.

But what many people remember to be “the Fergus Market building” is no longer a marketplace. After major renovations and a change in concept, this building is now called Fergus Marketplace On The River with full-time retail shops in a nice shopping strip.
