crowds of people following around their golfer of choice last
week at the first annual Seaforth Country Classic. Rain
beating on umbrellas was the only sound left to distract
golfers as they made their way around the course last
Thursday, the first day of the Canadian Professional Golf
Tour’s stop in Huron County after Monday’s qualifier and
Tuesday’s pro-am tournaments. Above: The leaderboard at
last week’s Seaforth Country Classic was a popular place
to congregate. The board was sandwiched right between
the practice green and the barbecue. (Shawn Loughlin photo)

there first. People in Seaforth know
that, but not everyone in the county
knows that.”
Rutledge went by the Van Egmond
House and the old school house as
part of the tour, in addition to several
pieces of old Victorian architecture.
Rutledge says that while there was
an attempt to turn the old school into
a retirement home, it is still
standing, albeit vacant, but that it is
in relatively good shape.
Through his tour he hoped to
discern one style from the other
when talking about Victorian
architecture in the area. He says
there are 12 different styles that are
commonly lumped in to the term
Victorian. Gothic, Queen Anne,
Second Empire and Georgian are
among the most popular in Huron
County.
Rutledge also visited the area’s
cemeteries as part of the tour.
Seaforth, including Egmondville
and Harpurhey have four cemeteries
among them.
“A lot of people don’t know there
are four cemeteries in Seaforth
either. There’s one in Harpurhey,
one in Egmondville and two in
Seaforth. That’s actually very
unique in this area,” he said.
“Egmondville and Harpurhey have
some of the oldest graves in the
county because that was the area of
Huron County that was settled first.”
Rutledge had done work with
Hawley before when she worked
with the Goderich BIA. He worked
with Hawley on a project
concerning Goderich’s Historic
Square.
