Take a stroll through Ashburnham with historian Don Willcock and learn about the people, events and structures tied to this historic neighbourhood. You will pass by the sites of past and present industries like the Ontario Canoe Company, Calcutt’s Brewery and Quaker Oats that served as iconic landmarks and major employers for the residents who called Ashburnham home. You’ll also visit other significant buildings in the area like schools, churches, and the houses of prominent individuals who chose to establish themselves in this tight-knit community over the years.
