The historic town of Perth, Ontario, Canada was established in 1816. Today, this small Lanark County town, less than an hour from Ottawa - Canada's capital city, has a wealth of historic homes and buildings, beautiful parks, a Museum in historic Matheson House, a wide range of stores and boutiques for a unique shopping experience [Come Back in Time to Experience the Future of Shopping], plenty of excellent restaurants, a vibrant theatre community, many artists, campgrounds, Canada's oldest continually operating golf course and second oldest weekly newspaper in Canada, and the home of Big Ben.
You can stay at bed and breakfast places in many of the restored downtown homes, or at a local campground named after the last fatal duel fought in Canada.
Beautiful Perth has been voted the Prettiest Town in Ontario, and one of the best places to retire.
People driving by on Highway 7 may be excused for believing that Perth is the collection of stores, car dealers, and fast food places they see there. You have to get off the highway and make your way into downtown Perth, where the original stone buildings still stand today.
