The Town of Seaforth launched its historic plaque project this past Sunday at the Bethel Bible Church, former site of the Boshart Furniture Factory and Canadian Tire, to name only a few.
Huron East's Economic Development Officer Jan Hawley presented Deacon Marc Robinet, the first of over 60 plaques, which will be on display throughout Seaforth. Each plaque will include several photos, both old and new of the building, plus a story of its past up to its present use.
Stage two will follow with a heritage walking trail, open to the public at no cost. This initiative was conceived with the intent of enticing residents and newcomers to its historic community. The merchants of the Seaforth Business Improvement Area invite you to come and enjoy its rich heritage and stay awhile. For a sneak peak take a virtual tour of its shopping district by visitingwww.shopseaforth.com.
