 Historic
Port Hope is one of
Ontario’s oldest

the quaint rural villages
of Port Britain, Wesleyville,
Welcome, Canton, Osaca,

Garden Hill and Elizabethville. Why

their charms.
Downtown
Port Hope is a heritage
conservation district
and the main street
boasts the best preserved
streetscape in Ontario. There
are over 280 designated
heritage homes and
buildings, more per
capita than anywhere
in Canada. Complimenting
the architecture are
numerous antique, boutiques,
specialty and one of
a kind shops. Self
guided walking tour
booklets are available
at the Visitors Information
Centre.
 The
Capitol Theatre offers
year round entertainment
in music, dance, comedy,
opera, and a professional
summer season of plays.
The theater was built
in 1930 and is fully
restored and barrier
free, it is one of
the last atmospheric
theatres still in operation
in Canada.
Things

year round festivals
and events, trails,
waterfront, and the
Ganaraska River and
Forrest Centre.
