Come join us as we explore the streetscapes of a pioneer village seemingly frozen in time, protected by a river but significantly impacted by the growing city around it . In 1980 Meadowvale Village was designated as Ontario’s first Heritage Conservation District. During the tour we will visit author and retired history teacher, Terry Wilson, who will guide us through his replica miniature village, a labor of love for place where he grew up and for all that has been lost. The hike will be in two parts totaling 10.5 km with an additional 1.4 km hike in and out for transit users. Part 1 (6.4 km) starting form the Credit Valley Conservation Authority parking we will hike part of the Glassford Trail within the Meadowvale Conservation Area and work our way East to the Old Village. After visiting Terry Wilson we will meander through the village and stop for lunch near the Rotherglen private school, formerly the Gooderham Estate (c 1870). Completing Part 1 we will walk West along Old Derry Road, visit the ruins of the old mill and return to the Conservation Area and CVCA parking drop out. Part 2 (4.1 km) we will continue Westward to pick up the pretty Levi Creek trail that affords us a loop by way of Samuelson Park and Circle trail partly along the former Guelph Suburban Radial Railway Line (1917-1931) and Meadowvale Conservation area back to our starting point. Fletcher Flats will not be part of this hike but will be featured in another upcoming Credit River Hike.Public Washrooms inside the Conservation Area grounds that we can access before and after our Village tour. Please bring minimum 1.5 L of water, a lunch or snacks, insect repellant and wear long pants.
