The Ermatinger•Clergue National Historic Site continues to come to life with the sounds of canon fire, children's laughter and a busy encampment of War of 1812 re-enactors.
Two of the oldest stone buildings northwest of Toronto are the scene of demonstrations, workshops and other activities in the midst of the period gardens on the lawns.
The Ermatinger Old Stone House, is restored to depict the domestic and professional life of Charles Oakes Ermatinger, who played a pivotal role in the War of 1812.
The imposing Clergue Blockhouse, which was relocated to the Site in 1996 will be stoically overlooking scenes of discovery and acquisition of old skills that are new again until Sunday at 4:40 p.m.
