Heritage comes alive May 5 & 6 in the Hills of Headwaters!

The Hills of Headwaters tourism region will be participating in the Province of Ontario's Doors Open program for the first time in 2007.

Saturday, May 5 and Sunday, May 6, visitors and residents are invited to explore this sophisticated rural destination and discover 20 unique heritage sites that depict the history of this picturesque region of the province.

The mandate of Doors Open Ontario is to bring together communities throughout the province and allow them to showcase the heritage of their communities. Each year, from April to October, communities open their doors to some of their most intriguing and charming heritage sites, including commercial buildings, places of worship, gardens, natural heritage and other heritage sites.

The Hills of Headwaters has chosen 20 sites that will provide visitors with a unique look at the history of the region. From the heritage homes of our founding fathers, to the places of worship that were central in the small towns, to natural heritage sites, parks and trails, the Hills of Headwaters Doors Open program will offer something for everyone.

Like all Doors Open events across the province, admittance to all sites is free. Come and experience "these hidden heritage treasures first-hand" at Doors Open in the Hills of Headwaters May 5 and 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
