Erin Ontario in Photos Barbara Raue

Erin, Ontario is the subject of Book 22 in the Cruising Ontario series of books of photographs of towns and cities in Ontario. The photos show the architecture and design of old buildings, many that are over 100 years old, with some descriptions of the buildings and background information, but mostly it is a visual experience to enjoy. A small community began at the headwaters of the Credit and Grand Rivers with the erection of mills in 1829-30. The mills were later rebuilt by Daniel McMillan who is in our extended family tree. As we drive from our home in Dundas to the home of our sons and their families in Orangeville, we pass through Erin, often stopping at the bakeshop, and now occasionally making a stop at the Tim Horton's.
