Georgian Bay Township
Historical Society
Our Park
The Georgian Bay Township Historical Society is proud to show our
Bressette Homestead Heritage Park.
The park is named for the Edmund Bressette family, as one of the founding pioneer families of the area. The name is sometimes spelled "Bresette".
Our mission for the park is to celebrate local history, with the community, and for those passing through the busy approach to cottage country. There is a picnic area available, and during part of the summer, a farmer's market stand is often on the grounds. On occasions, the park is used for community events and the relocated Bressette farmhouse is used for SegBay Chamber of Commerce, and Historical Society meetings, as well as for other community club gatherings.
We are at 45 Lone Pine Road in Port Severn Ontario.
Access to the park is from Lone Pine Road just off the highway 400 exit at Port Severn. It is immediately to the north of the Petro Canada mall and beside the GBT municipal buildings.
There is a small parking area on the park property, but even better, it is only steps from the gas bar and food court, either via the quiet road or the new "Pathway to the Past" mini trail. And why not make charging your EV a "walk in the park".
Please feel free to browse the entire website to find more about who we are as a Historical Society, and peruse our growing picture archive.
