The outdoor Walk and Learn Tours are back!
Enjoy fresh air, exercise and a healthy walk through a historic building, neighbourhood or park while discovering Richmond Hill community heritage with a knowledgeable guide.
Mill Pond, named for the sawmill operation that used the pond for power. Today's Mill Pond is a place of recreation, but did you know when it was first created in the mid 1830s, it was a hub of industry and commerce and an important component of Richmond Hill's culture heritage. On this walk, participants will explore a place of natural beauty while learning about the many industries that made the heart of Richmond Hill an attractive place to settle in the early 19th century.
Arrive at Mill Pond Park Gazebo (321 Mill Street) and look for the Walk and Learn sandwich board.
