Sometimes, the best way to experience a town is through a guided tour. And we've got a couple of ideas on how you can do that:
| The Lonely Ghosts Walk |
| Throughout 200 years of the town's history, the unsettled spirits of Perth refuse to go quietly into that good night until their stories are told. Presented by the Classic Theatre Festival, you can hear their new tales with this family-friendly, hour-long ghost theatrical walk through Perth's historic streets. It takes place each Thursday at Friday at 7 p.m. in the summertime. Learn more at classictheatre.ca. |
| Perth Through the Ages |
| Throughout the summer, The Classic Theatre Festival offers a theatrical, historic walking play live theatre, where you'll learn more about the age of Confederation with real live actors. It's a fun way to tour the town while soaking in a performance. It takes place from Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. in the summer. Learn more at classictheatre.ca. |
| The Halloween Perth Ghost Walk |
| Want to really get into the Halloween spirit? With 200 years of history, it'd be a shame to forget about the people of our past, even if they are still among us. In the annual Ghost Tour near Halloween, tour guide and historical Susan Code McDougall will tell some eerie tales of Perth's past and outline the buildings where ghost sightings have been reported. Call the Visitor Information Centre at (613) 267-1947 for more details on this tour. |
| Stories from the Settlement |
| Learn about heritage Perth, it’s buildings, history and stories led by a knowledgeable guide and storyteller. Offered during July and August. The tour is limited to 14 people so preregistration at the Museum is recommended. Register in person or by calling (613) 267-1947. The tour is enhanced by use of an audio guide system. |
| Self-guided Walking Tours |
| Want to explore the town on your own? There are three options: Pop into the Perth Visitor Information Centre at 11 Gore St., where you can pick up a self-guided tour brochure; print your own here; or, download the Driftscape app and explore the self-guided tour through your phone or tablet.
