Downtown Guided Walking Tours 

This year Steve Travers {The Official Town Crier for the City of Barrie} will conduct three historic walking tours around the downtown area of the city and Union Cemetery. Each tour takes approximately one hour, and is completely free! Steve will meet you at Memorial Square and guide you on the tour for approximately a block, whilst telling you some most interesting stories about Barrie's Victorian past.Various buildings will be pointed out to you, and their architectural features explained, as well as descriptions of some of the more "interesting" characters who 
lived in our city in bygone days.

"I just love telling stories about some of the rogues and scoundrels that lived here back then" explains our Town Crier Travers.
