Places to See
The Kincardine Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located in Kincardine, Ontario near the mouth of the Penetangore River and Inn at the Harbour! Built in 1881, it is 24.4 metres (74 feet) tall and was built above the light keeper's home. The tower is eight sided and sits on a stone foundation. The facility has been renovated and is now the Kincardine Yacht Club and a museum.It is open for tours from July 1 to Labour Day.
The Walker House was built in 1850 by Francis "Paddy" Walker and remains the oldest standing wooden hotel in Bruce & Grey Counties, and the oldest building in town. Only ever owned by two families, Walker and Gairns, the House was run as an inn and tavern for over a hundred years.
Now a local museum and heritage centre, because of a fire that went through the place in 1995. In 1998, the Paddy Walker Heritage Society was formed to save and restore the building. Ten years and countless fundraising efforts have brought it beyond it's former glory! Check out there website for events and High Tea calendar!
