Huron Historical Society to host Guelph tour in May
Huron County Historical Society
is hosting a bus trip to historic
Guelph featuring highlights along
the Huron Tract. The settlement of
the area between Guelph and
Goderich was under the direction of
the Canada Company, which was
formed as a result of dramatic times
in England.
It was a time of mass migration.
The Napoleonic conflict ended in
1815 with a large number of
discharged soldiers. Jobs were hard
to come by, due, in no small part, to
the industrial revolution that
replaced human labour and wiped
out cottage industries.
There was massive unemployment
and to add to the misery, Irish
families were recovering from
potato famines and Scottish farmers
were displaced by English landlords
with all of them migrating to the
towns and cities.
The new territories in Canada
looked pretty inviting. John Galt
took on the position of land agent for
Canadian Claimants for the 1812-
1814 war reparations. Not long after
he travelled to England and offered
several plans to finance the
adventure of land settlement, the
Canada Company was formed. Its
head office was in Guelph and Tiger
Dunlop, a friend of Galt, headed the
crew to survey the land between
Guelph and Goderich. This is just
the tip of the historical iceberg.
This trip is all about Guelph
history buffs returning a favour. In
2014 a busload of Guelph guides and
friends spent a day in Goderich
exploring the sites and stories of
historic Goderich, John Galt, Tiger
Dunlop and the Canada Company.
This is the return trip.
This tour of the Huron Tract and
Guelph is planned for May 14. The
full day will include a script of
historical sites in Huron, through
Perth County to Guelph; lunch at
Guelph's historic Albion Hotel; and
admission to the John McCrae house
and Guelph Civic Museum. Guelph
historians will be guiding the tour
for those who come along.

luxurious tour bus, reach David
