Caledonia Incorporated as a village within Haldimand County in 1853, Caledonia’s Scottish beginnings are remembered a century and a half later.

Caledonia is a picturesque community on the Canadian Heritage Grand River, just 15 minutes south of Hamilton and less than 10 minutes from the Hamilton Airport. Caledonia’s development stems from the Grand River Navigation System days. Founder Ranald McKinnon arrived in the area in 1835 to work on the fifth dam, lock and canal, which became known as Oneida Village. Seneca Village was to the east where the fourth dam, lock and canal was constructed. These two villages, in

a very short few years, amalgamated to become Caledonia. McKinnon made it happen. His Scottish heritage resounds in Caledonia even today. The choice of name for the community “Caledonia” and the naming of streets follow McKinnon’s Scotch tradition.

Today, a nine-span bridge, the only one of its type in Canada, links the whole community. Historic sites include the scenic Old Mill, just west of the bridge; the Town Hall, built in 1857; and the 100-year old Grand Trunk Railway Station, built in 1908. The Old Mill reminds residents and visitors of early Caledonia development. The old Town Hall, known as Edinburgh Square Heritage and Cultural Centre, preserves and profiles the history of the community. The renovated Railway Station is open on a daily basis as a museum, office of the Caledonia Regional Chamber of Commerce and Travel Information Centre.

Caledonia’s parks and green spaces provide a place to enjoy a range of sports: fishing, camping, walking, swimming, picnicking and birdwatching. A walk along the old Towpath from the bridge to the dam is a highlight and a tangible reminder of the river’s navigation heyday. The railway bridge, once a wooden trestle, converted to iron in 1886 and later to the solid deck bridge, is still in use today to enhance the park scene.

Canadian Drilling Rig Museum

No. 6 RCAF Dunnville Museum

The museum is dedicated to preserving the history of rural education, the heritage of the surrounding community, and the memory of poet Wilson Pugsley MacDonald.

Step into a classroom of 1925… when the Union Jack waved over the schoolhouse…classes started with “God Save the King”…and penmanship was practised using straight pens and black ink.

Lyric poet Wilson Pugsley MacDonald (1880-1967) was born in nearby Cheapside and published many works, including “Out of the Wilderness” and “Flagon of Beauty”.

The Canadian Drilling Rig Museum, located in the rural community of Rainham Centre, is a monument to the rich history of the early natural gas fields of Haldimand, Norfolk and Southern Ontario.

The site houses the rebuilt “working” 1896 drilling rig along with many interesting artifacts and a wealth of historical information.

The museum was opened with an aim to preserve the history of the No.6 Service Flying Training School. The airport in Dunnville, of 28 constructed across Canada, is one of the few remaining bases from the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP). Its preservation ensures that future generations can learn how the BCATP contributed towards the freedom we all enjoy today.

The museum is dedicated to the more than 2,500 men and women who served at the school from 1940-1944. Uniforms, pictures, memorabilia and artifacts of this era are displayed in the museum. There are also a North American Yale, Harvard, DeHavilland Tiger Moth and Fleet Finch on display in the hangar.

On July 4th 2004, a Harvard memorial and gardens were dedicated to the memory of the 47 airmen who lost their lives while training at the No.6 SFTS in Dunnville.

Museum members volunteered many hours to reconstruct the Harvard from parts and to design and build the gardens. Two new memorial stones for airmen lost in training at the Hagersville and Jarvis bases were installed and dedicated in 2009.

Hours of Operation: The museum is open weekends and holidays from Victoria Day weekend to Labour Day weekend, Saturday 10am5pm, Sunday 1-5pm and Remembrance Day 1-4pm. Weekday, school and group tours can be arranged.

Admission: Donations appreciated.

Museums Cottonwood Mansion Cottonwood is an Italianate-style red brick mansion built c. 1865-70 by William Holmes, Jr., as a private residence.

Descendants of the family say the name came from the cottonwood trees that originally surrounded the home on its 300 acre site. Beginning in 1911, only a portion of the building continued to be lived in.

This was the case until 1988 when its total restoration was undertaken by the late Larry Hamilton beginning that year.

Cottonwood is a 6,000 square foot mansion with fifteen rooms, some of which have the original furniture donated

by Holmes’ family members. Now a living museum, the mansion is open for tours, and available for rentals for a variety of events. A number of scheduled events take place annually, most with a Victorian flavour in keeping with the mission statement of the Cottonwood Mansion Preservation Foundation to sustain and maintain the Mansion and provide experiences of the Victorian Era. Cottonwood’s extensive genealogy research centre is now administered by the curator at Haldimand County Museum and Archives.

It concentrates on the pioneer families of the Haldimand and Niagara areas.

Hours of Operation: • Open for events and by appointment.

Bus tours are welcome.

& Heritage Attractions Caledonia Grand Trunk Station

In 1908 the Grand Trunk Railway constructed a brand new station facility in the growing community of Caledonia.

It remained a busy spot until passenger service ended on October 26, 1957.

Express parcel service continued until November of 1977 and then CNR used the Station as a maintenance depot until 1988 when the windows were boarded-over.

The Caledonia Station remained in disrepair until September 1996 when a crew of twelve dedicated volunteers with the Caledonia Chamber of Commerce Special Projects Committee began renovations. The official opening of

the newly renovated station was held November 27, 1997, just fourteen months after work began.

The Grand Trunk Station Society, a nonprofit group, was formed to oversee the continued restoration, maintenance and operation of the Station facilities. Today, the Grand Trunk station is once again a busy spot accommodating the office for the Caledonia Regional Chamber of Commerce since February 1998, a year-round Travel Information Centre, a meeting place for Chamber and other community activities as well as being a popular

Grand Attractions The Grand River was designated in 1994 as one of only 29 Heritage Rivers in all of Canada for its rich history and influence on the development of southern Ontario.

Few rivers have seen as much of Canadian history. Originally flowing through virgin forest, a diversity of First Nations Peoples have populated the area for thousands of years.

Much of the Grand’s valley in Haldimand remains in a natural state with rare Carolinian species of flora and fauna lining the shore and broad marshes found near the river’s mouth.

The riverfront in rural and urban areas retains much of its early architectural

flavour.

Visit www.chrs.ca for more information about Canadian Heritage Rivers.

Great Fishing

Family, fun and fishing-some of what the Haldimand County area has to offer! The Grand River, from the dam in Caledonia to the mouth at Lake Erie, is home to a variety of fish. Your catch could include: Bass, Pickerel, Pike, Trout, and Catfish, just to mention a few. It can be as easy as live bait & hook, lure and even fly fishing. The spring, summer and fall host some of the best fishing around, with Trout, Salmon & Pickerel running from Lake Erie, and plenty of Bass & Channel Cat and resident Pickerel making the Grand River a good spot throughout the year.

Lake Erie is the shallowest and warmest of the Great Lakes. It is also the most biologically productive and has the greatest diversity of fish species. More than 130 species from at least 24 different families range throughout its wide variety of habitats.

Many species reach their greatest abundance here, providing one of the world’s largest freshwater fisheries and more fish protein than all the other Great Lakes combined.

Provincial fishing regulations require all anglers to have a valid licence (except for Family Fishing Weekend - some restrictions apply).

These are available at many of the fishing outfitters listed. For more information on recreational fishing regulations, visit the Ministry of Natural Resources online at www.mnr.gov.on.ca.

Cottages Haldimand County, with its lakefront and riverfront, is also a popular destination for cottagers. Most of the cottages in the area are privately owned and available for rental by the weekend, week or longer. Summer rentals can book up early, so reserve early.

Tourism Haldimand has compiled a list of cottages in Haldimand and surrounding area.

The listings are available on our web site at www.TourismHaldimand.com.

So how else can you find the perfect summer cottage? Networking with friends is a good starting point in your search. Ask for ideas and landlord’s names and find out more about the area.

Classified ads are also a good place to find a local cottage for rent. Another excellent way to find a cottage is to take a road trip along lakeshore roads and look for “For Rent” signs.

Explore our scenic country roads—they will be a refreshing change from the everyday drive and you just might find your own special place in the sun!

Contact Tourism Haldimand if you’re interested in listing your cottage for rent with us at 1-800-863-9607 or visit us online at www.TourismHaldimand.com.
