The children of Walsh Public School were involved in an attempt to break the Guinness Book of Records for reading on January 26, 2009.

That community thrived through the 1925 merger that created the United Church of Canada and beyond but suffered badly from declining membership during the Great Depression and it ceased operation in the early 1940s.

[6] When the Walsh United Church dissolved early during the Second World War, their remaining members were welcomed into the Baptist community.

Located in a white frame building on the southeast corner of the main intersection, dwindling membership eventually forced the church to cease operations in the early 1960s.

The Walsh Baptist Cemetery is situated on a sheltered hilltop on the east side of the Turkey Point Road, 400 metres or 1,300 feet north of the main intersection.

Common last names of people buried at the Walsh Baptist Cemetery include Atkinson, Bingleman, Bint, Bye, Cope, Ferris, Pepper, and Shepherd.

Common last names found at the Walsh United Cemetery are Armstong, Anderson, Barker, Becker, Bingleman, and Boughner.

They were noted flint-workers and evidence of their skill in crafting arrowheads is still to be found in open worked field areas surrounding the village.

Walsh developed as a community centre and gathering place during the first half of the nineteenth century after Charlotteville Township was surveyed.

The proximity to Young's Creek with a water flow to power flour and lumber mills was an added advantage favouring the location.

From a geographical perspective, Young's Creek originates about four kilometers northwest of the village and passes through Walsh, and then Vittoria, before discharging into Lake Erie, 11 kilometres or 6.8 miles away in Port Ryerse.

Gas prices reached 5.5 cents a litre by 1959 due to the low fuel taxes and surplus of oil from the Middle East during that era.

Colwell, General Merchant, described more fully below, was located on the northwest corner of the main intersection and sold Supertest products.

Half a block to the south of Earle's was the village's only full scope service station, Engell's Walsh Garage that sold Texaco products.

At Walsh Station located five kilometers to the south, Cherwaty's Service sold Fina products[15] during the early years of his business.

[15] The gas station at the general store belonging to the parents of local petroliana collector Alex Colwell handled Supertest products for oil and automobile gasoline.

Children who attend school within the immediate vicinity are allowed to enter any artwork that they produced themselves in addition to their own crafts and agriculture-related artifacts.

Fundraising for the Donnybrook Fair involves a Victoria Day brunch, an annual spring barbecue, and numerous raffles.

Walsh traditionally belongs to the humid continental climate zone, even with the recent mild winters and warmer dry summers.

As in all communities, towns and cities throughout the world, global warming due to human industrial activity has drastically altered the climate of Walsh over the decades.

[24] Should the sea levels rise by 60 metres or 200 feet, Walsh is not located close enough to salt water to be affected directly by flooding.

[25] However, it would suffer indirectly from droughts due to the displacement of available freshwater resources and would have to rely on desalinated salt water piped in from hundreds of miles away.
