1672 Ridge Rd, Oro-Medonte, Ontario L0L 1T0

This location was born in 1908.When the history of this location was searched at the municipal office there does not seem to be any indication of what was built here at that time. Some local long time residents say it was a church. First Nations had long established encampments & trails on the banks of the Hawkstone Creeks & Ridge Road. The Huron village of Cahiague {near Hawkstone} was the capital village of Ahrendarrhonon {Rock} nation. Samuel de Champlain estimated the village to comprise 200 house. In 1908, a key event in Oro Medonte was the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway line to Sudbury.
