Welcome to Huron County this fall. Please visit the Ontario's West Coast website and you'll see a complete listing of fall celebrations and events that will be perfect for a daytrip and a family getaway too.

 

Doors Open Haunted Huron will be a returning feature event next year, in Fall 2010.

 

Cycling, hiking, dining, shopping, museum exhibits and art galleries, music and theatre too - come and explore Ontario's West Coast -- a winning combination of countryside and coastline waiting for you!

 

 

 

Doors Open Haunted Huron is billed as a ‘weekend of heritage and horror in Huron County’. We are celebrating the unique history and heritage found only in our community and we’re going to have a little fun and a few frights while we do.

 

Ghost stories told and retold over generations become part of a community’s mythology and folklore. These are stories of spirits from a different time coming back to interact with the present day inhabitants. What better metaphor for our event, bringing the spirits of our past to an audience of the present.

 

There are over 40 sites open free of charge across Huron County to tour and see over the weekend.

A full slate of spooky and entertaining activities including:

• Author readings
• Architecture, historic & heritage walking tours
• Ghost walks and haunting stories
• Heritage Marketplace
  • at the old CPR Rail Station in Goderich
• Horse drawn carriage rides in Bayfield
• Children's Halloween Party
  • at the Livery Theatre in Goderich
• Psychic readings, and paranormal seminars
• Late-night screenings of classic cult horror films

We invite you to explore our past and our creations. Only 2 1/2 hours from Toronto or Detroit; 30 minutes from London or Kitchener / Waterloo, you will find Ontario's West Coast. On the shores of Lake Huron and the surrounding countryside, this area is a patchwork quilt of rural Canadian towns and villages, farm landscapes, parks and shoreline, knit together by a heritage dating back almost two hundred years. Enjoy your journey through the area.
