History at a Glance
As living conditions in Britain
and Europe declined in the late
1700s, emigration coordinated and
subsidized by the British government
became a welcome option.
In what was then known as Upper
Canada, parts of Lanark County were
settled as early as 1790, but a major
push of emigration did not begin in
Perth and District until 1816.
After the War of 1812, Perth was
one of three strategic defensive
outposts created along the Rideau
corridor. To encourage settlement,
the government granted land to
officers and soldiers according to
their rank, thereby establishing a
trained reserve force along the Tay
River in the event of another conflict
with the United States.
Named for a town and river in
Scotland, Perth was a small frontier
centre in a large wilderness tract. It
became the social, judicial and
administrative hub for the Scottish
and Irish settlers.
Following an arduous journey
across the Atlantic, pioneers travelled
overland or by scow down Rideau
Lake to Perth and the surrounding
townships, which were surveyed to
accommodate them.
Their names have changed over
time, but most of the original
township names honoured British

During the 19th century, the local
economy was based on agriculture.
In the rugged Canadian Shield lands
of the area, logging and small-scale
mining took hold.
In 1884, the Mississippi River
garnered national attention when
an ongoing timber dispute was
settled by the British Privy Council,
effectively guaranteeing freedom of
navigation on waterways in Canada.
Lanark Highlands marked the 125th
anniversary of this event in 2009.
Railways and the Rideau Canal
linked small communities with larger
centres. Shoes, whisky and soap were
among the exports from the area.

Y
ou won’t travel far before
stumbling upon something
unique in Perth and District.
Here is a listing of just some of the
interesting sites and attractions
you’ll find here! Be sure to check
out other articles in this guide for
additional attractions.
Tay Canal/Rideau Canal
Perth and Drummond/North
Elmsley Township are located along
the historic Tay Canal, a pristine
subsidiary of the famous Rideau
Canal system. Both the Tay and
Rideau were designated a UNESCO
World Heritage Site in 2007. The Tay
Canal branches off the Rideau at
Beveridges Locks, meandering 10
kilometres to Perth, and combined
with the rest of the Tay River system
through Tay Valley Township it
offers some of the best paddling and
wildlife-viewing areas in the region.
Both canals recently celebrated
175th anniversaries – the Rideau
in 2007 and the Tay in 2009. The
202-kilometre Rideau Canal is
North America’s oldest continuously
operating waterway. It is also a
National Historic Site and a Canadian
Heritage River and consists of
beautiful rivers, lakes and engineered
canals linking communities between
Ottawa and Kingston. Originally
built for strategic defence purposes
and commerce, it is now operated
by Parks Canada and offers ample
recreational, cultural and commercial
features.

producing sites to visit, including
Wheeler’s Pancake House and Sugar
Camp near McDonald’s Corners,
which has been declared a national
historic site by the Historic Sites
and Monuments Board of Canada.
Wheeler’s earned this honour thanks
to its extensive museum of maple
artifacts that is open year round
and chronicles the history of syrup
production from the time the area
was inhabited by Aboriginals to
present day. Maple production has
played an important role in the
nation’s history, so for a real taste of

The Mammoth Cheese continues to
be a source of community pride.
Mammoth Cheese
A proud agricultural monument is
now prominently displayed at the Tay
Basin in downtown Perth. In 1893,
a dozen local cheese factories, the
Dominion Department of Agriculture
and the Canadian cheese industry
worked together to produce the
Mammoth Cheese for the Chicago
World’s Fair. It measured six feet
high, 28 feet around and weighed
an astounding 22,000 lb.! Thousands
greeted the cheese as it travelled by
rail to Chicago, where it received a
medal of distinction and a bronze
medal. In 1943, the Cheese Producers
Association of Lanark County marked
the 50th anniversary of the world’s
largest cheese by erecting a concrete
10 replica on the CPR grounds in Perth.

 Chamber of Commerce
T
he Perth & District Chamber of
Commerce has enhanced the
role it plays in the community
thanks to its innovative new website
that offers perks for members and
visitors alike.
“We are really excited about the
features and opportunities this new
site will provide,” said Madeline
Bouvier, Chamber co-manager and
membership chairperson.
Co-manager Carol Quattrocchi
agrees. “Once all the features are
activated, we will have a remarkable
tool available in the community.”
Funded in part by a grant through
Valley Heartland Community Futures
Development Corporation, the
website redesign was spearheaded
by Shelley Montreuil and James
McBeath of OnCouRSS Web Solutions
and was based on the new corporate
image created for the Chamber
by local graphic designer Annie
Dalton.
“A key area of major growth is a
precedent-setting cooperative
venture between the Chamber
and the Lanark County Tourism
Association to share their database
information,” Ms. Montreuil said.
Both organizations continue to
work closely to update information
for the public and members, which

not only pools resources, but
provides consistency.
Secondly, the site is set up to allow
for easy updates by contributors and
is built to accentuate the benefits of
social media such as Facebook and
Twitter. The Chamber will be able to
publish news often and easily, which
will increase its online profile and
that of its members.
A great perk for Chamber members
is they have their own profile
pages associated with the
site, too. “They can post news
to their own page that gets
pulled onto the Chamber
site’s front page.” This, Ms.
Montreuil explained, is a
great way for members to
build their own website or
hook into social media.
The third key feature is a
function that, once activated,
will enable the Chamber to
conduct its business online
in a secure manner, such
as sharing agendas and
files and even managing
meetings and voting online.
These tools combined
make for a groundbreaking
online package that will

business.”
Community Enrichment
The Chamber is dedicated to the
prosperity and enrichment of the
community. As a tourism leader, it
seeks partnerships to benefit the
local economy.
Perth and District has a very strong
and active Chamber due, in part, to
the strength of businesses in the
area and consistent and growing
membership support.
The Chamber is always striving to
make Perth and District a destination
for both visitors and those who
wish to relocate and offers helpful
packages that suit individual’s
needs.
It is actively involved with town
council and has representation on
diverse county-based committees
and initiatives. Other member
benefits include increased access to
promotional advertising, networking
opportunities and information, as
well as reduced rates for some
business programs.

ecoPerth
This award-winning organization
partners with local businesses,
groups and individuals to make

Flavours website can help folks locate
growers and buyers of local food,
such as farmers’ markets, farm-gate
sales, community-shared agriculture,
and restaurants and retailers. Watch
for the new “Culinary Journeys Map”
to be released in 2010 as part of this
initiative! At the Crystal Palace in
Perth you’ll find the Perth Farmers’
Market, featuring farm-fresh fruits
and vegetables, eggs, meats, honey,

 Cycling
I
f you’re keen to tread lightly while
visiting this great area, here is
a fantastic way to do so – cycle
tours.
The Perth and District Chamber
of Commerce has designed detailed
maps of nine cycling routes that
range from a 10-kilometre jaunt in
and around Perth to a challenging
full-day, 93-km excursion through
Lanark Highlands.
“This area is a cyclist’s dream,”
said Madeline Bouvier, Chamber
co-manager. “There are so many
things to see, from heritage architec-
ture and interesting urban sites to
the natural beauty encountered on
country roads.”
There is an abundance of lakes
and rivers, rolling farmlands and
pockets of wetlands and woodlands
along quiet rural roads – a perfect
way to explore the area.
“We are so close to the larger
urban centres of Ottawa and
Kingston it’s easy to load up your
bike and spend the day exploring,”
adds Karen Rennie, heritage manager
for the Town of Perth.
Make a day of it or stay longer
and take advantage of the many
outstanding accommodations on
offer in Perth and District, not to
mention the range of restaurants.
Ms. Bouvier notes the creation of
the maps was sparked by the sheer
number of cycling-related inquiries
coming into the Chamber office.
A bicycling committee formed in
early 2009 and brought together
enthusiastic members with a
complementary variety of skills.
“The initiative grew from a
Chamber of Commerce venture to a
community-wide project involving
local cyclists and businesses,” Ms.
Rennie added.
The committee is working to
establish partnerships with the local
hospitality industry, which is eager
to promote cycling tourism in the
area. The committee has also been
proactive in terms of cycling safety
56
– raising awareness and providing
useful tips for cyclists.
The maps can be downloaded – and safe – cycling!
