Abigail’s Tea House

Take a moment to reminisce about Canada’s English origins at Abigail’s Tea House, a high tea experience inspired by English tea house traditions. Alongside their menu offerings, which include 13 teas and many sweets and snacks, the House sells over 40 loose-leaf teas to take home! You can choose from English blends or several flavoured black and green teas.

 

To complement the cafe experience, you can also choose from some preserves to purchase and take home with you, including their double Devonshire cream and Chantilly cream. Their European-style decor, with birdcage chandeliers and French tufted bench seating, is the last piece of the puzzle in an authentic tea-house experience you can’t miss!

Home Town of Adelaide Hoodless

Adelaide Hoodless, the née Addie Hunter, was an educational reformer who founded the Women’s Institute.

Adelaide was born in St. George in 1857 as the youngest of 13 children. Her childhood home, where she was born, is now the Adelaide Hunter Hoodless Homestead, a National Historic Site dedicated to preserving her story.

 

After the death of her first son, John Harold, at 14 months old, Adelaide began her advocacy, hoping to help women prevent deaths like that of her son. Her key accomplishments include co-founding the first branch of the ‘Women’s Institute’ with Mr. Erland Lee and working to include domestic science in the curriculum at the university level.

The Homestead has been restored to what it would have looked like at the time that Adelaide had lived there and depicts the childhood Adelaide had as part of a farming family in rural Canada.

Orchard Home Farm

Home takes on a new meaning at Orchard Home Farm, a family-run apple and pear orchard that opens annually from August until October. There is no admission fee, bags are provided, and all the fruits are grown on dwarf and semi-dwarf trees, so guests can easily pick whatever they want!

Their picking selections include Gala, Red Cort, McIntosh, and Bartlett Pears. If you’re not in the mood to pick your fruit yourself, however, the 80-acre orchard farm also has a market where you can buy ready-picked fruits, including Bartlett Pears and Gravenstein and Dolgo Crab Apples. You can also pick up a few other market items while you’re there, such as honey, maple syrup, sparkling cider, apple pies, and more!

Brantview Apples & Cider

If apple-picking is on your mind, another apple orchard in St. George is Brantview Apples and Cider! The Howell family runs this apple orchard on land originally granted to their ancestor Isaac Howell for his service in the War of 1812. The orchard offers up to 22 varieties a season, including HoneyCrisp, Empire, CrimsonCrisp, Ambrosia, Gala, and Spy. The farm offers wagon rides on the weekend, and alongside their apple-picking options, they also offer ready-picked apples, pies, and other baked goods. Alongside the fresh apple business, they run Howell Road Cider Co., a cider business specializing in cider made from 100% Ontario apples.

 

Brantview is also home to the beautiful Event Pavilion, built from 200-year-old barn beams. With a large dance floor, rustic lighting, bar and dining space, and, most importantly, a bridal suite, Brantview is the perfect place to host your rustic Canadian wedding!

The Paris Port Dover Pipe Band

Experience two places in one by visiting The Paris Port Dover Pipe Band, a St. George-based music group focused on Scottish music. The band not only performs events (including weddings, if that’s what you’re looking for!) but also offers free group training for young people wanting to learn how to play Scottish music.

 

Over the years, the band has acquired several accolades, including second place at the Calgary Stampede in 2004 and fourth place at the 2007 World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. In 2010, the band even played with Sir Paul McCartney at the Air Canada Centre. Learning from The Paris Port Dover Pipe Band, you wouldn’t just be learning from the best; you may even get to play with them! The band offers group lessons to those wanting to learn and allows students to perform with them. At a cost, they offer one-on-one lessons to students wishing to hone their Scottish music skills. The band does not have a permanent location, but it can be found at the Memorial Hall on Wednesday nights 7 pm-9 pm for their show band practices or Thursday nights 7 pm-9 pm for competition band practices.

St. George Museum and Archives

The St. George Museum and Archives is located in the St. George Memorial Hall building. Originally built in 1891, the building has seen much of St. George’s history, containing at different times a radio station, a library, and a post office. About a century after its building, it was turned into a Museum by St. George/South Dumfries Trade and Tourism Association in the 1990s.

 

However, in the early 2000s, this body disbanded, and to preserve the museum, a group of citizens got together to form the South Dumfries Historical Society (SDHS). The society holds various events and fundraisers, including ‘Chilli Chow Down,’ a Remembrance Day Service, and ‘New Year’s Brunch and Levee.’ Join in and experience what it means to be a local in St. George!

St. George Lawn Bowling Club

Tired of traditional bowling alleys and looking to have some outdoor fun? Lawn bowling might be for you. The club is exactly what it sounds like: a place for people of all ages and skill levels to bowl on a lawn! The club hosts ten tournaments a season and also offers rentable meeting facilities.

Besides being played outside, the game is slightly different from traditional bowling in that the objective is not to knock over pins but to bowl your ball as close as possible to a small ball called the ‘jack.’ With some practice, lawn bowling may just become your next favourite sport!
