Southwinds - Historic Marr Home
From the Ontario Heritage Trust website; “In 1845, the present stone home was erected for Alexander Marr by a Scottish stone mason who immigrated to Canada to work on the Rideau Canal. Note that the original limestone mantels and lintels were originally ship ballast on a schooner into Kingston. Come and learn about the history and the folklore surrounding this site.” www.doorsopenontario.on.ca/Welcome.aspx
We visited Doors Open Clarington today. Doors Open Ontario is a series of events produced by the Ontario Heritage Trust and part of my summer activities. It is an opportunity to visit historic and cultural locations across Ontario on weekends in the summer.
It was a beautiful day for a drive in the countryside. This was a wonderful farm in Orono, Ontario. There are more images from this day on my blog; bit.ly/MarrHome
