Historical landmarks focus of Ciderfest
For the second year in a row, Ciderfest moves downtown to
Seaforth's Main St. Cardno's Hall and the attic of George A.
Sills and Sons Hardware are two of the special highlights.
In the attic of the Sills building, which was constructed in
1869, Frank Sills, the third generation of his family in the retail
hardware business, has used his passionate interest in local
history to create what he laughingly calls a Memorabilia

It contains photos and artifacts from town, hardware and
Silts family history. Included are photos of Main St. through
the years, of prize winning teams and special events in
Seaforth. Historical articles range from a, tiny tin bathtub.
