Stratford’s City Hall is an iconic downtown landmark. But did you know that it is not our first city hall? The first city hall burned down and our current city hall was built in 1898 to replace it.

Often referred to as the “Jewel of the Square”, the unique design and architectural features of our city hall combine to make it a very special building.

City hall was threatened with demolition in the 1960’s but thankfully a group of active and engaged citizens stepped up to protect it. The building is now a nationally recognized historic site.

Come on one of our guided walking tours to learn more information about Stratford’s history. Tour details and ticket information can be found at: stratfordwalkingtours.ca

Did you know that the majestic oak tree that grows in front of the Perth County Courthouse has a royal connection? Yes… it’s true! We have a royal tree in Stratford. 👑🌳

Six oak saplings were given to the City by King George VI to mark his coronation. Planted in 1937, the trees came from the New Forest in England and represented our heritage and connection to the British Crown.

Unfortunately, this is the only surviving tree of the six but it grows tall and strong to this very day.

On our guided walking tours, we love to share information about the buildings we see around us today; but also we talk about some of the buildings we have lost.

Sadly, the old post office was one of those buildings.

Built in 1882, the post office was a beautiful building located in the heart of the downtown on Ontario Street in what is now Memorial Square. The post office was demolished in 1961.

Come on one of our guided walking tours to learn more about the history of Stratford and hear stories about the people and events that shaped the city.
