Our first stop should be the Visitor Centre, where you can pick up a town map and chat with the friendly, knowledgeable staff who are justifiably proud of their town. Perth offers a wide variety of restaurants and cafes, making it easy to find the perfect spot for lunch.
Be sure to visit the tribute statue of Big Ben, the legendary world-champion show jumping horse who was once considered too large to fly. Big Ben is one of only two horses inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame.

Later in the afternoon, we’ll head to the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, where we’ll learn the stories of mill workers, labour history, and the region’s rich textile industry.
