Upon arriving, you’ll be greeted by Proctor House Museum, a historic house that’s been restored to its mid-1800s appearance. The property was donated in 1970 by John W. Proctor and it has some unusual features compared with others of the time. Cattle hair plaster for one, the use of pine that has been grained to resemble oak, a circular staircase, oh, and a ghost that appears in the form of a fireball haunting the residence as payback for some financial deals gone wrong.
Take the trails behind the house to explore the 37-hectare conservation area, which features a creek, cedar lowlands, and a maple/beech hardwood forest. The conservation area is managed by Lower Trent Conservation.
