Must Visit Perth Ontario Canada, Code's Mill, Perth Museum, Stewart Park & Mammoth Cheese Monument

Welcome to my Channel -- Walking Attractions    / @walkingattractions   As the spring season arrived, I was eager to take a road trip to explore the charming town of Perth in Ontario, Canada. Known for its Scottish and Irish heritage, Perth was named after a town and river in Scotland and was established as a military settlement in 1815. Today, the heritage downtown of Perth consists of boutiques, restaurants, specialty, and antique shops that operate out of historical 100-200-year-old stone buildings in town. The town is also known for its arts and theatre culture, outdoor and recreational adventures, and authentic culinary experiences. My first stop was the downtown area, where I was impressed by the historical architecture and the variety of shops and restaurants. The main highlight of downtown Perth was Code's Mill, a prominent structure located on the Tay River that overlooks Stewart Park. The building was once home to Code Felt, a wool and felt production complex that evolved between 1832 until it was closed in 1998. The grand Edwardian façade is composed of the distinctive Hughes limestone, a lavender-tinted stone unique to Perth. The newly renovated Code's Mill quickly became one of Ottawa Valley's most popular classic wedding venues and a collection of boutique shops, galleries, restaurants at the Atrium level. The charming limestone complex with its central garden atrium continues to delight visitors as an amazing transformation from factory to fabulous. Next, I headed to Stewart Park, which was donated to the town of Perth in 1947 by Mrs. Stewart, in memory of her husband. Located behind the Town Hall, Stewart Park is the most distinctive landmark in Perth and home to the annual Stewart Park Festival. One of the conditions of the gift was that admission could never be charged for entrance to the park or any event held in the park, or it would revert back to the Stewart family. The park is truly magical and enchanting, with charming bridges, swimming holes, streams, and rock formations. It's a great place to stroll, take pictures, and enjoy the evening or early morning. The park also hosted an Easter egg hunt, which was a great activity for families and children. After strolling Stewart Park, I visited the Perth Museum, located downtown at 11 Gore Street East, which is a National Historic Site. As I entered the elegant Matheson House, which was built in 1840 for the Honourable Roderick Matheson, I felt like I was leaving the 21st century behind and entering the world of the 1840s. The four period rooms - parlour, dining room, drawing room, and a warm and welcoming kitchen. The museum has been carefully curated to reflect the lifestyle of the Matheson family who owned the house for 90 years. One of the highlights of my trip was seeing the Mammoth Cheese monument in Tay Basin beside the Crystal Palace. In 1893, a 22,000-pound cheese known as the 'Mammoth Cheese' was produced in Perth to be exhibited in Chicago at the World's Columbian Exposition to promote Canadian cheese around the world. It arrived at the fair on April 25, 1893, and caused some surprise and astonishment on the part of officials when it crashed through the floor of the building while it was being moved from the car to the space prepared for it. The crashing of the floor was the very thing which opened the flood gates of publicity, making it more talked about and more written up in the newspapers than any other single exhibit at the Fair. Overall, my road trip to Perth, Ontario, was a wonderful experience. I loved exploring the town's rich history, strolling through the charming downtown, and visiting the various landmarks, such as Code's Mill, the Perth Museum, Stewart Park, and the Mammoth Cheese monument. I highly recommend Perth as a destination for anyone looking for a charming and historic town to visit in Canada.
