Dominion Gardens Park
A public garden honouring the legacy of the Dominion Seed House in Georgetown. It features formal gardens, meandering pathways, a dry stone riverbed leading to a naturalized pond, and a walled garden among the foundations of the famous mock-Tudor Dominion Seed House building. In spring, hundreds of tulip and daffodils fill the beds with brilliant colour. Magnolia, pear and cherry trees blossom, the forsythias display their golden dress, and lilacs along the paths burst into bloom. Magnificent heritage peonies have been planted in a showy array lining the formal area beds.
This park is a war memorial with a monument, fountain, flowers and two old artillery pieces. There is a pleasant, tree-lined walkway with benches leading to a pavilion east of the monument.
Restored and elegantly furnished Victorian home.
A stone church built in 1878.
Attractive building with a clock tower.
The side of a store has a large mural dedicated to George Kennedy, the founder of Georgetown. Part of the mural depicts a 1900 view of Main Street Georgetown.
This road tunnel under the railway embankment was built in 1856 along with the railway. It is very narrow, about the width of a tight laneway. Cars use it in both directions but not at the same time. Drivers must yield to pedestrians. It's fun to drive through. On the north side of the tunnel, you can take John Street to Mountainview Road to continue to Main Street in the picturesque community of Glen Williams.
