This store is a gem! We had a wonderful visit today. Beautiful art ranging from Canadian post impressionist to native to folk to abstract and beyond. There are even some fun and quirky steam punk pieces. It’s a joy to visit, eye candy all around, and lovely owners and staff. And we got to meet Mr. T the cat!

Cartwright Springs is a craft brewery that prides itself on the use of Artisian Spring Water to make it's refreshing brews. The springs can be visited only 15 meters away from the brewery. The tasting room welcomes visitors to sample many different styles of beer including some rare seasonal styles. Tours are very popular because of the lovely location and wealth of information about environment friendly initiatives that were developed at this location. Book well in advance to reserve a spot on a tour or just drop in for a visit to the retail store anytime during regular hours.

My husband and I stopped in. I had a flight of beer and he had “I’d Tap That Pilsner”. (Cute name????) $4 each! All very good. Andre was a great host. Definitely worth the visit.

Located in an abandoned Hershey’s factory in Smiths Falls, the Tweed Visitor Centre is more than a window into the world of cannabis - it’s a fascinating look into the past, present and future of our favourite plant. From the moment you arrive to peeking into working grow rooms, your senses will be engaged and your minds opened as you explore the history, science and culture of cannabis. An educational theatre experience challenges preconceptions and highlights society’s changing relationship over 10,000 years. Discover the complexities of the cannabis plant and learn about the role of terpenes, and witness our bean to bar artisanal chocolate production. Finish off your tour with a cup of coffee, browse through our collection of books, and stop by the gift shop for something special to remember us by. We hope this behind-the-scenes tour will broaden your understanding of cannabis and inspire new perspectives.

From entering the parking lot to the end of the tour, we really enjoyed speaking with the employees. Special shout-out to Rebecca ("Blue") and John for the great tour which was well organized, informative and interesting. The factory itself is unbelievable clean! We were greeted in the parking lot by some of the staff on their lunch break. They were all really friendly and smiling. At the end of the tour we milled about in the merchandise area and had nice, informative conversations with Blue and some other female staff. We really liked Blue in particular for her warm, friendly manner. She is definitely a good representative to be the 'Face for Tweed'. Don't ever let her...or John leave!

Family birthday arranged for an elderly relative. Used the occasion after a very good lunch to check out the museum and a bit of the farm itself. The young one was impressed with the museum.

The real attraction for me is their wonderful homemade fudge. But we drove from Algonquin specifically to find unique gifts - for a new baby and for our house sitter. Mission accomplished! I found a lovely piece of local pottery and an adorable little pair of Native moccasins. Mr. Ferguson has a nice collection of Canadiana. Also love the scented candles. Don’t miss his shop in Maynooth And, for the road, just couldn’t resist that Chewy Praline fudge.

We were disappointed that the Museum was not open at all in winter according to online information. We jumped at the chance to visit when we were told that it was indeed opening during the Dorset Snowball on February 15 2020. There are so many stories and artifacts in such a small place and the volunteer was helpful and enthusiastic. We had a wonderful little visit.

Leave the 21st century behind as you enter the world of the 1840s at the elegant Matheson House, home of the award-winning Perth Museum. This popular tourist attraction, located downtown at 11 Gore Street East, is a National Historic Site.

Have taken the tour through the museum twice now and have a learnt a lot about the Perth area and the past. Next summer I hope to take the walking tour of the town that they offer on Wednesday and Saturday.
