Mountsberg Church — 1854
As I peeked out the church window, I noticed how the sun highlighted some of the old buildings and how perfectly the panes framed this town scape.
The Drug Store, painted red, served a double purpose. It was not just the apothecary but also an examination room for the town physician, Dr. Beattie. Even his name sounds heritage.
Main Street
The Jerseyville Train Station was built in 1896. It operated train services from Hamilton to Brantford. The building was used for filming train scenes in the Anne of Green Gables movies and Anne of Avonlea tv series.
Class "G" Consolidated Steam Engine
Built in 1910 in Montreal, this locomotive is one of only two preserved. It serviced the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo rails for many years.
Gillen House — 1852
Robert and Mary Gillen emigrated from Ireland in 1852 and built their house in Brantford, Ontario. It was home to four generations of Gillens.
In 1960, the City of Brantford purchased the house before donating it to Westfield Heritage Village.
The Gillen grandchildren named their home "Old Hundred". The house bears the name today on the mail slot.
History is a symphony of echoes heard and unheard. It is a poem with events as verses
