past and present. The conservation of its Main Street,
tranquility, beauty and architectural heritage are the legacy

provided the backdrops to TV series such as Suits and Gilmore
Girls and to Hollywood movies. The works of Group of Seven
artist, Frederick H. Varley, are on permanent display at the
Varley Art Gallery. And nearby is the home where he did much
of his work, now called the McKay Art Centre. You could even
take a one-day course in arts and crafts. At the summer’s
peak, the street provides an unforgettable sight: beautified
by immense colourful hanging flower baskets and
flower-bedecked half barrels. Among this splendour, you can
shop for that unique gift and, nosh or dine on a wide variety
of cuisines. Or just stop for ice cream or bonbons while you
stroll. A few steps north and you’ll come to beautiful Toogood
Pond and find yourself in an enchanted forest. Main Street
