History

Founded in 1851, Paisley is full of history and tradition. From the settlers who arrived by raft and built the first houses and businesses to the stately houses and the once hard-working mills on the river, Paisley is bursting with historical features.

Take a walk around the town to get an inside glimpse of what Paisley would have looked like over 100 years ago. While on the walk, visit the Treasure Chest Museum to learn even more about Paisley’s rich history.

Check the tour on the Visit Paisley website.
