Small Town Day Trip Inspiration

We often think that we need to go far and spend lots of money to travel and explore. But right in our own backyard we have things to discover that perhaps we drive by without noticing.

This is a great example of how in a small region there are three dramatically different ways to learn more about art, history and community.

These three historic sites might be small but they are fascinating and should be better known. It’s time that we started learning more about where we came from, and the amazing talented people who have lived here. It’s only then we can appreciate just how lucky we are as Canadians.
