Thinking Of Relocating To Huron County?
If you’re coming from the big cities you may have some stereotypes of moving to a country county so I’m going to share the pros of living in Huron County to set the record straight.
Welcome To Wingham
Wingham is located in North Huron.
It is home to Alice Munro’s birth place. Canadian short story writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013.
Enjoy an afternoon canoe trip or picnic along the Maitland River in the Wawanosh Park Conservation Area. If you love to fish, try your luck on the Maitland River fishing for rainbow trout, bass or chinook salmon. You can even book a camping trip in the Wawanosh Park Conservation Area.
Wingham is home to an amazing butcher shop called Green’s Meat Market. You will have to try their homemade bologna and we love their beef burger patties in our house!
If you love good old Canadian Maple Syrup, look no further! Proper’s Maple Farm has you covered for fresh, local and amazing quality syrup for those Sunday pancake breakfast with the family. Check out more below.
If your looking for something to do, you can always check out what’s going on at the North Huron Recreation centre. Who knows, maybe there’s a good hockey game happening?
