Goderich and Area

Goderich is known as the prettiest town in Canada,

Where you can witness spectacular sunsets,

Enjoy great shopping, and feast at restaurants of all kinds in our unique downtown,

We have four (4) museums including an historic jail.

Beginning in the 1830's settlers began to travel to the area from York (Toronto) and the Hamilton area. They traveled through forests, guided by only a path, stumbling over logs and wading through swamps and marshes.
After 2 or 3 weeks of rigorous summer travel through mosquito-infested forest they reached today's Stratford. The same trip today can be done in less than 2 hours by car.
From Stratford they proceeded over the Canada Company's Huron Tract road, now Highway 8. Some families went straight to Goderich and some turned off the main road at Seaforth and took the road to Brucefield and then to Bayfield. Today you will find the journey much easier as you explore the countryside.

Goderich is located:

20 minutes from the Blyth Festival

1 hour from Stratford

1 and 1/2 hours from Port Huron, Michigan

1 and 1/2 hours from London

2 and 1/2 hours from Toronto
