En(joying l^is great advantage endowed by nature, coupled with the fact that it enjoys a unique (historical position, it has become E^astem Ontario's Ijaading Tourist centre. Since the town was foimded by veterans of the War of 1812, it was primarily a military settle- ment, but with the terriflic influx of Scottish and Irish pioneers in later years it grew into a great natural endowment as a tourist centre has become farming centre and industrial town. In late years, however, its great natural endownnent as a tour- ist centre has become evident and today it enjoys the position of the tourist capital of Eastern Ontario. Many people vdsiting Perth each year have asked to know some^ing of the points of interest in town, and for this reason data has been made available. TOWN HALL — Although not the oldest, oine of the the most imposing buildings in Perth is the Town Hall, located on Gore St., in almost the centre of the town. This sturdy, stone building was erected in 1863, and like many of the older buildings in town was constructed from a cream coloured freesto(i£ (Potsdam Sandstone) which was quarried near the town. It houses the Coun- cil Chambers, Clerk's 0£Fice, Police Offices, the Public Utilities Commission, and the complete top floor is occupied by a spacious auditorium. BAND STAND— Just to the rear of the Town Hall, and on the same, property, is the Town Bandstand where concerts tn-e held by the Citi- zen's Band on Summer evenings for the enjoyment of music lovers. THE JOHN A. STEWART MEMORLIL PARK— A must for visitors to Perth is a visit to the John A. Stewart Memorial Park, rated as one of the finest town parks in Canada, located on the bancs of the Tay, behind the Town Hall. It is a beauti- ful piece of property, expertly cared for and al- ways open to the public. THE SWIMMING FOOL— The Town Swiming Pool is loc^,ted next to the Stewart Park at a point wtiere the Tay joins the canal and because of its position has two natural pools, one shallow and in slow moving water for the beginners, and a larger one, complete with swimming apparatus for the more experienced swimmers. The pool is under co*i*tHnt -suDervi-sion by nn experieisced lifeguard. The water is always flowing and pro- vides a cool escape from the hot v^eaither. THE KIDDIES' PLAYGROUND— At the rear of the swimming pool is the Kiddies' Playground built by a local service club, and complete with all playground equipment, including a small pool, slides and swings; Children may be left here, and are under constant supervision, while par- ents shop in town. THE PERTH MUSEUM— No visit to Perth would be complete without an inspection of the Perth Museum, considered one of the ilnest small town museums in Canada. It occupies the top floor of the Public Library building opposite the Town Hall, and is open for inspection on week day afternoont. The greater part of the exhibits deal with local history, Canadian wild-life and min- erals. THE LAST DUEL— One of Vne most romantic, the last, and the most publicized duels ever fought in Canada took place on the banks of th^ Tay River, on the south eastern edge of the town. The combat between two lawfstudeaits, Robert Lyon and John Wilson too'ic place on June 13, 1883, the cause being a lady. It was fought with pistols, and when the battle smoke had cleared, one of the men, Lyon, lay mortally wounded on the ground. The victor, Wikon, later became a Suopiior Court Judge. .'i^ Robert Lyon was buried in the Church of Eng- land plot of an old cemetery on No. 15 Highway within the limits oi the town, and his headstone and grave remains to this day a point of interest in Perth. THE BIG CHEESE— In the year 1893, the Do- minion of Canada carried out one of its greatest pieces of advertising, when the Mammoth Cheese, weighing il tons was manufactured at Perth, for exhibition at tne Chicago World's Fair of that year. The clieese wias processed at the various mills in this district and brought to Perth, taking nearly three days to father the necessary materials. At a cheese factory near the CPR station it was press- ed into a great mould and loaded onto a freight car for transportation to the fair. To day, near the station, is a huge repHca of the giant cheese which was believed to have done more for the promotion of the cheese industry in Canada than any other piece of advertising before or since. , INDUSTRIAL PLANTS-^Because of the strength of its industries, Perth has successfully withstood the depresrions and wars, and the townspeople are juntly prowd of them. The Andrew Jergens and Thr .T firm, the Perth Shoe Co., manufacturers of Dr. Locke Shoes, The Tayside Textiles, woollen manu- facturers. The Code Felt and Knitting Co., felt and sock manufacturers, are all located in Perth as well as several -smaller firms.
