A visit and tour through the the gorgeous Ruthven Park National Historic Site. March 2018
Discover Ruthven Park National Historic Site
The Thompson family made an impact on the development of early Canada through their involvement in politics, business, the military and later in the arts. David Thompson first came to the area and started a saw mill in 1834 followed by a grist mill in 1836. He laid out the former town of Indiana which developed around the new private business called The Grand River Navigation Company of which Thompson was a promoter.
The mansion exhibits furnishings and possessions collected by the Thompson family over five generations. While touring, you will hear about the stories of family life, the involvement of the Thompsons in politics, business and in the military, the development of the estate over time as well as conservation initiatives which will preserve the site into the future. The grounds and the bird banding migration protocol offer opportunities to bird watch or to see birds up close as they are banded and documented by licensed experts.

Ruthven Park & Museum
This is a collection of shots from a tour I went on with my family to Ruthven Park. This was from a few years ago, however I thought it was well worth putting together. This is definately a tour I would recommend, to anybody interested in older homes and history of local areas. I would do this tour again in the future. Ruthven Park is located on Highway 56 between Caledonia and Cayuga, Ontario. It is however, considered to be a Cayuga landmark.
