and all it's volunteers for this event.

Simcoe Masonic Lodge
I am not a Mason but was always interested as what might be behind these walls.
This Masonic lodge, the oldest organization in the town of Bradford, was established 1857.
In 1892 a fire destroyed the building and its contents. It was rebuilt here in the early 1900s

Ballawoods Centre, The (Home of Professor W.H. Day)
This home has a fantastic stone chimney and the original kitchen six burner stove.
The property once belonged to Professor W.H. Day.,
one of Simcoe County's most significant figures for his vegetation experiments in the early 1900s.

Stone Farmhouse at Scanlon Creek Conservation Area
This farm house is very unique and the property is natures best back yard.
The farmhouse was build around the 1860s by Mark Scanlon.
The 700 acre conservation area is worth visiting in any season.

Guild of Automotive Restorers, The
The workmanship here is like no other. It shows in all their restored cars.
This is a classic car enthusiast dream.
It is one of the largest and most experienced antique and classic car restoration companies in North America.

The Auld Kirk,
In 1832 when the Scottish pioneers settled here, they build a log structure that was used as a School and church. The present structure is the third one. In 1827 there was a frame building until 1869 when the present brick building was build.
A quick peek inside and some views of the property and its cemetery.

Holland Marsh - Art Janse Pumping Station
We had a very good discussion with a gentleman and a young lady about the operation of the pump house and what could happen if the town of Bradford ever gets flooded.
It was a real eye opener how important this station is.

Bradford West Gwillimbury Wastewater Treatment Plant
The sewage treatment facility was an excellent tour. Very informative with its complex treatment and disinfection system.

Thanks to the tour guide and the detailed explanations.

Tours of this multimillion-dollar facility is a must see.
