It was also known as the Hagersville Inn and The Old Lawson House.
Now it is close. But check the famous Hagersville place.

The Eaglesnest Motorsport Park began operating in 1980 with the goal of staying a family-oriented park. The first track of the park was created on the front lawn of the owner’s property.
However, as the years have gone by, they have expanded the track to the backfield, where many races have taken place, such as the sanctioned motocross racing events, Offroad Tough Trucks, and snowmobile races.
If you plan to visit the park, sign the adult waiver or fill in the minor forms before going!

The Taquanyah Conservation Area is a 136-hectare property in the Carolinian Zone. The species found in the area are typically found much further south in America.
Before 2005, there used to be a dam in the area, but it stopped operating. This allowed the area to be restored by adding new wetlands, ponds, and trails. With the help of Ducks Unlimited Canada, Six Nations of the Grand River, Habitat Haldimand, and the Haldimand Stewardship Network, the conservation project succeeded.
Today, you can enjoy a beautiful nature walk on the trails with interpretive signs to help you understand the property.
