At 1:30 p.m. on both Thursdays, the block between Rubidge and Reid will receive special consideration because of its three churches and the intertwined history of the nearby buildings for the first and brand-new walking tour of the 2023 season.

There are numerous area houses which will be profiled on the tour. Fine vintage stone dwellings such as Hutchison House, the Eastland House and the Ridley House will be described as are the Queen Anne-style house on Stewart St. and the Second Empire duplex with its mansard roof which sits across the street. Of particular interest will be the Strickland House on Hunter and Downie Streets.

The ‘Cathedral Precinct’ tour will begin and end at the Eastland House, at Hunter and Stewart. Elwood Jones, TVA’s archivist will lead the tour assisted by Don Willcock, noted historian and raconteur.

TVA takes the safety of attendees and volunteer guides very seriously by adhering to appropriate physical distancing throughout the tour. While everyone is welcome, they encourage those interested to enjoy the tours with members of your circle. This tour runs rain or shine.

Tickets for $20/person are available on the website by reserving with Heather at 705-745-4404, or by emailing admin@trentvalleyarchives.com. Registration and payment in advance is required.
