Tecumseh Heritage Centre

The town of Tecumseh has a rich history made by the various French and Indigenous communities that settled there.

In 1977, thirteen residents of the area formed a venue to display that history to the public. The Tecumseh Area Historical Society (TAHS) holds several artefacts which hold local importance. Among other items, these artefacts include medical supplies from the town’s first mayor, bottles from the town’s past breweries, Essex Scottish army uniforms, and many antique photographs.

The Society is located on the same property as the historical Lesperance Family Log Cabin, sitting only a few meters from the original Tecumseh train station. It’s 220 years old.

The property also boasts a beautiful indigenous garden space complete with a reproduced teepee tent. Visit by yourself or schedule a trip for your class or organization.

Ste. Anne’s Church

The stature of Ste. Anne’s church makes it a beacon of Tecumseh and without a doubt, the most iconic building in the township. It is a sight to behold for any tourist visiting the area, allowing one to truly grasp the age of the Tecumseh community.

The Parish of Ste. Anne’s was established in 1859 and the historic building bearing the same name would be completed in 1873.

After undergoing a comprehensive restoration project, the church was reopened in 2018. The steeple was fully retouched and returned to the top of the bell tower.

The restoration was made possible with the help of local philanthropist Al Quesnel, who donated $2.5 million for the project.

Tecumseh Corn Festival

The weekend before Labour Day

The Tecumseh Corn Festival has been recognized by Festivals and Events Ontario as one of the Top 50 Festivals in the province.

The festival is scheduled to go on annually during the weekend before Labour Day weekend in Lacasse Park from Thursday to Sunday. The entire weekend is a celebration of the shared heritage and community of Tecumseh, as people come together to enjoy good food and light entertainment.

Of the many things to do at the Tecumseh Corn Festival, check out the vendors for locally made art, merch, and specialty foods. The many rides of the Midway Carnival should keep the kids busy, while people of all ages can enjoy the Cream of the Crop Invitational Car Show. It is open to all registered owners of classic or muscle cars. The Miss Tecumseh Pageant is another event worth checking out on Thursday and be sure not to lose your chance to see the parade along Tecumseh road on Saturday.

There is a $5 parking fee per vehicle and a free bike valet is available. Entrance to the festival itself is free.
