Update to Heritage Walking Trail signage
BRACEBRIDGE, ON (October 28, 2024) – Beginning today, the Town of Bracebridge will begin to remove the signage along the Heritage Walking Trail to prepare for new signage installation in 2025. Located throughout the downtown and along the waterfront, each sign depicts text and historical images about the location, which are in need of replacement as they have fallen into disrepair. New sign infrastructure, with a refreshed design, are planned to be installed in summer 2025.
The Town of Bracebridge is celebrating its 150-year anniversary in 2025. The installation of rehabilitated Heritage Walking Trail signage has been identified as a legacy project as part of the anniversary celebration.
About the Heritage Walking Trail
The Bracebridge Heritage Walking Trail, originally created in 1981, and takes visitors along a path of local monuments, historic sites and destinations significant to Bracebridge.
