Having our vacation in Collingwood is great as we can take day trips to nearby small towns within 20 minutes to an hour's drive easily.

| Main street downtown, Creemore, Ontario |
Creemore, a lovely Ontario little town about a twenty minutes drive from Collingwood.
The main street of Creemore has a number of interesting and pretty shops, including a big toy shop!
We went to see the smallest jail in North America!
This historic building is open and free for the public to see.
A stone building, this small jail was built in 1892 at a cost of around
$ 400.00, measured about 15' by 17'.
There were three individual cells inside. Each cell with its own bed, lamp etc.

| A Historic Pioneer Home in Creemore |
Right beside the smallest jail, there stands the first home built with logs in the town.
This rustic little house brought back happy memories of my younger days when the popular TV show "Little House on the Prairie" was on years ago!
I also thought of the time when I taught elementary school students in Toronto
about pioneers. This would have been a great field trip for my students to learn about the times and lives of our pioneers.

We had a fun time looking around; my teacher friend and I reminisced about our teaching days and remembered all the fun time we had at school!
Those were the days!
