We live in Guelph, a regal,old town( now a small
city), in south
western
Ontario. Where ever you look there are historic buildings and
parks. One church is over 180 years old.
The Church
of Our Lady Immaculate overlooks the town. It is in the
process of being sandblasted. The weathered walls look new again
but have lost some of there character instilled over the years.
Wandering through these old buildings gives you a
sense of family and belonging. Researching historic buildings and
places develops knowledge of where mankind is today and how far he has
come. Then there is the mystery and entertainment of finding out
about old truths. ( rumors and scandals,too)
One of our favorite hiking and camping spots is
the Rockwood conservation area. Here you will find the remains of
the Harris
Woolen Mill.
It is hard to imagine the the current village as the bustling
metroplois it once was. Some interesting Rockwood history can be
found at

So come travel through history with us. Who knows what we will
find.
