History

Welcome to one of the finest late 19th-century streetscapes remaining in the Province of Ontario. This architectural composition of two-storey brick buildings, unique in their uniformity and character, is a provincially designated Heritage Conservation District.

In September 1876, at two o’clock in the morning, a fire broke out on Main Street, destroying 12 acres of the business section. The town rebounded, and Main Street was rebuilt with the brick and block structures which stand today.
