Otterville, Ontario

It is located on the Otter Creek with many historic features including Otterville Mill and Dam, Grand Trunk Station, African Methodist Episcopal Cemetery and a park.

Encouraged by local Quakers, free blacks and escaped slaves fled persecution in the United States and found homes in the Otterville area beginning in 1829.

Otterville African Methodist Episcopal Church and Cemetery served the local black community until the late 1880s.

[2][3] Built in 1845 by Edward Bullock, the mill is run by water power supplied by a dam on the river.

Just north of the main corner, and through the stone gates, is 10 acres (40,000 m2) of parklands graced with beautiful tall pines, with a swimming pool, ball diamond, horseshoe pitch, tennis and basketball courts, and children's playground.
