The Citizen, 1994-06-29, Page 46Page 18 Seaforth Welcomes You! Whatever the reason...whatever the season Seaforth is an easily accessible town on the busy Highway 8 corridor to Stratford and Lake Huron that can’t be overlooked. Seaforth is a must-see for travellers heading west for the lakeshore or theatre patrons taking in local culture. Seaforth is a town rich in history and heritage. Seaforth’s most outstanding attraction is its Main Street which boasts one of the finest examples of late 19th century streetscapes remaining in Ontario. Buildings such as the Cardno Opera Hall, the Carnegie Library, complete commercial blocks dating from the 1870’s and the restored Van Egmond House are remarkable examples of this area’s architectural excellence.

There aren't many places where you can buy a 40,000 square-footx industrial building on one acre of land for under $300,000. Nor can you rent downtown commercial space for under $3.00 a square-foot in many cities. It’s also difficult to find a four bedroom home for less than $100,000. In Seaforth you can do all three! We would be happy to help you find an appropriate site for your business and homes for your employees. We can even find you the employees right here - there are over 100,000 people within a 30- minute commute! Seaforth's getting better every day! Come and see for yourself what our town has to offer.
