The Rural Voice, 1992-07, Page 37hotels in St. Marys. In 1987, the
building's exterior was restored to
reflect some of ils former beauty.
Besides the many points of interest
centralized in the business section
there arc several other unique places
to stop during a visit to St. Marys as
well. St. Marys, says Soutter, is "big
on looking after its young and old".
Its recreation facilities are "top
drawer". Swimming times are
available at both Cadzow Park and
the Quarry, "Ontario's largest
swimming pool", says Soutter.
St. Marys provides more than 45
acres of parklands, choice locations
for a stroll or a picnic, with play areas
for children, or just a spot to sit and
rest.
For visitors, who want to learn
more about the history of Stonetown,
there is the St. Marys Museum, a
handsome limestone house located in
Cadzow Park. Included in the
museum's artifacts are displays of
furniture, glass, textiles, tools,
paintings and old photographs.
The "Loft" discovery room gives
little people a chance to experience
history "hands-on". Children are
invited to explore the past by playing
school, dressing up and running a
general store.
The "Barn" contains examples of
early forms of transportation and a
collection of farm implements.
There is a resource centre as well
with microfilm of local newspapers,
census records, maps and reference
books.
When visitors are ready to leave or
would just like some time in the
country Soutter has a favourite
countryside tour to share as well.
Follow Queen St. west out of town
until you come to the tiny hamlet of
Rannoch. There you turn left and, just
after crossing the old railway line,
you will come to the crest of a long
grade. Stop and enjoy a panoramic
view of Blanchard township and
listen to the quiet. Then proceeding
down the road you will find yourself
following the Thames River, where
you may discover blue herons, geese
and ducks. Continuing on, the road
circles back to the quarry operations,
the Marion Shrine and Westover Inn.
There's no question St. Marys has
much to offer. Its unique beauty,
ambiance and heritage make it a
must for new visitors and old
friends.°
