idwestern Ontario is
the heartland of this
great province. And its
heartbeat is found, not only
in the cities of our beautiful
region, but in the rolling,
peaceful countryside that
surrounds each community.
While travellers will enjoy
the attractions of the larger
centres, it would be a great
shame if any visitor were to
miss the tranquil pleasures
of the rural area and small
villages.
May we suggest two
“Backroad Adventures”,
inter-connecting itineraries
that will introduce you to the
delights of rural areas, small
towns and friendly cities in
this part of Ontario during
leisurely car trips that can
last a few hours or an enjoyable day.
En route, watch for opportunities for road-side treats –
many area farmers, including Old Order Mennonites,
offer produce, maple syrup,
antiques, crafts and even
beautiful, hand-crafted quilts
to the passer-by.
Stratford Route
Head east from downtown
Stratford – an irresistible
locale in its own right – or
anywhere along Ontario
Street, which becomes
Highway 7&8 as you head
east. The first community
Waterloo County
to New Dundee
from 401
Waterloo County’s Country Inns are famous for their friendly
hospitality and good entertainment–but they’re best known for
their food. Old World hospitality can be found minutes from
the heart of Kitchener-Waterloo.

Road 2, turn right, and then
make an immediate left at
the entrance of the Spring
Valley Trout Farm. This
unique stop offers trout fishing and more – a great
place for a relaxing couple
of hours.
Now retrace your route
north on Road 12, through
Petersburg, to St. Agatha –
look for the towering church
spire. At the stoplight in St.
Agatha, turn left again, and
you will find yourself
between two of the most
intriguing dining establishments in the area. On your
left is Angie’s Kitchen, an
historic, 1854 inn that features fine German cuisine,
popular Sunday brunches,
and a menu and facilities
perfect for any occasion.
Meanwhile, on your right is
Kennedy’s Tavern, a great
Irish country tavern offering
a fine, traditional menu and
a large helping of historical
significance. Kennedy’s is
on the Country Traditions
Tasting Tour.
(You could now continue
through to Notre Dame
Drive and do the reverse
route of the St. Jacob’s
Market Route.)
St. Jacobs Market Route
We’ll start this journey at the
St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market
and Outlet Mall, at Weber
and King Streets, between
Waterloo and St. Jacobs. As
you leave the Farmers’
Market, heading north
toward St. Jacobs, look for
the corner of King Street

Heidelberg, home of the
Heidelberg Restaurant and
Brew Pub, part of the
“Country Traditions Tasting
Tour.” After enjoying the
ambiance of this quaint village, continue west to St.
Clements, and turn right on
Hergott Road. Turn left on
Ament Line, then right on
Lavery Road, then left on
Buehler Line. Here you will
find Marhaven Furniture, a
family business run by
young craftsmen who know
how to make customers
happy. Marhaven specializes in solid wood, custommade heirloom furniture at
more than competitive
prices. They specialize in
custom-made bedrooms and
china cabinets; they will
design and build almost any
furniture a customer is seeking. They’re proud of their
artistry: “We’ll make it just
like they want it; we listen to
our customers.”
Leaving Marhaven, continue
on Buehler Line, and turn
left on Manser Road. Turn
left again on Ament Line,
into Linwood, and look for
“Seven Sisters Antiques and
Collectables,” the perfect
place to shop for gifts for
family and friends or just the
right item for yourself. Allow
plenty of time to browse;
there really are seven sisters involved, and each
brings her own particular
expertise to the enterprise,
making for a very eclectic
and diverse inventory, from
vintage linen to furniture.
Retrace your brief route on
Ament, and turn left to continue on Manser Road,
through Linwood. At William
Hastings Line, turn left
toward Crosshill. There,
keep an eye open on the
right for The Twig People.
Take time to browse among
the surprising twig and
wrought iron creations.
Continue through Crosshill,
turning right to travel straight
south on Road 5 (Hutchison
Road), and have your navigator on the lookout for the
family-owned Shantz
Country Treasures, on the
right. SCT is a 10,000
square foot showroom filled
with hand-crafted Mennonite
furniture and solid wood
mouldings. Visit, enjoy – and
purchase some of this area’s
excellent wood products. The
Shantzes are especially
enthused about their collection of Mission style furniture!
(Don't hesitate to ask for a
tour and some history behind
this old cheese factory.)
Continue south on Road 5
for about one quarter mile,
and then turn left into
Wellesley. Turn left (north) on
Nafziger Road to visit
Wellesley Apple Products,
producers of the best apple
butter and the purest sweet
cider.
Wellesley is also home to
one of the best-tasting annual events in Ontario – the
Wellesley Apple Butter and
Cheese Festival, the last
Saturday in September (this
year September 25). This
sweet celebration turns the
village of Wellesley into a
carnival, a festival and a
farm market, all in one – and
thousands of visitors return
every year to enjoy this bigtime, small-town event.
(You can continue south out
of Wellesley, on Nafziger
Road, and turn left in
Philipsburg, continuing east
to St. Agatha, where you
could follow, in reverse, the
Stratford Route.)

The Power of Three The Power of Three
THE POWER OF THREE
T
here are many reasons why you go visiting. When it’s travel on
your own time, the most
important reason to go is:
pleasure. There’s nothing
more important than relaxing the soul. Your objective
is to get away from all of
life’s worries; but to reach
that objective may take a bit
of planning. One has to
look, read and discover.
But even that search sounds
enticing, doesn’t it? To begin
a quest to arrive at the
“Power of Three” – those
“three Rs of travel,” the destinations and activities that
“refresh, re-energize and
rejuvenate.” Nothing else
really matters.
And so, to assist you in your
search for the Power of
Three, we give you Visitor –
it’s for your pleasure.
What you’ll find in Visitor is a
whole cornucopia of experiences, unique in every way.
This summer especially, the
communities of Visitor
Country offer a splendor of
activities, from downtown
buskers to highland festivities, from relaxing on the
Grand River or boating on
our inland lakes to picnicking
with swans while the air is
filled with the baroque of
Bach or the buffoonery of the
Beirdo Brothers. We offer
something for everyone. It’s a
pretty big claim; we wouldn’t
make it if it were not true. But
it is – oh, so true.
Visitor Country offers perhaps the best mix of urban
pleasure and rural delights,
anywhere in Canada. The
contiguous communities featured in this magazine range
from busy, sophisticated
cities like Kitchener,
Waterloo, Guelph,
62
62 T H E P O W E R O F T H R E E
Cambridge, Brantford and
Brampton, to cultural havens
such as Stratford, Fergus
and Elora, to intriguing towns
like Tillsonburg, St. Jacobs,
Elmira, Acton and St. Marys,
to friendly villages such as
Shakespeare, and the rural
delights of our Backroad
Adventures.
Our hotels and motels offer
excellent accommodations,
designed for the traveler or
distinguished guest. Prices
are as attractive as the
establishments. Spread
across Visitor Country are
hotels and motels, bed and
breakfasts and convention
facilities, all designed to provide you a great home away
from home, only moments
away from the nearby Visitor
Country events and attractions.
Visitor Country offers rural
charm that is none the less
refined, multicultural, and
very cosmopolitan. Touring
our back roads will introduce
you to excellent pubs,
sophisticated shops, and cultural surprises. Actually, the
same can be said for our
urban centres, as well.
Wherever you travel in Visitor
Country, the staff in our
shops, restaurants and
attractions will make you feel
welcomed and worry free.
Whether you’re from a neighboring city or another country, we have plenty to keep
you busy for a entire week or
more. If you’re seeking
something for the kids, or –
probably more importantly –
something for your sanity, in
Visitor Country you’ll find the
Power of Three, an unparalleled opportunity to be
refreshed, re-energized and
rejuvenated. Your quest for
pleasure will be accomplished.
Visitor Country is a “must
stop” – attractions galore,
festivals and special events,
culture and multi-culture ... in
short, to stoop to a cliché that
is none the less spectacularly
true, Visitor Country has
something for everyone.
Enjoy your visit,
The Staff of Visitor

Your
home
...is where our heart is.
Your sanctuary. The world’s best place to relax. To be yourself. To put
your feet up. More than bricks and mortar, your home is a place to
welcome friends and family, to work and play, and to make memories
that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s your first, or the perfect spot where
you hope you’ll one day retire, your home is a reflection of you. At
Reid’s Heritage Homes, we believe they are also a reflection of us. The
homes we build reflect our commitment to quality and excellence, and
the tradition of fine building that was begun three generations ago by
our grandparents, and continued to this day. Your home is where your
heart is. It’s where our heart is too.
