Historic Sight Seeing
The Nottawasaga Watershed is steeped in rich history. From the Indigenous peoples who historically resided within the region, to the fur traders, the soldiers of the War of 1812 and pioneer settlers, NVCA’s Conservation Areas offer a unique opportunity to learn how our history shaped our lives and communities.
The Historic Fort Willow Conservation Area has been designated as a Federal and Provincial Historic Site. Visitors are welcome to visit and explore the history of the site year-round, however history truly comes to life during the Festival at Fort Willow in September of each year.
