Thamesville

It is the home of the Threshing Festival, which is held annually in the month of June.

[2] The festival sticks to its "rural roots" by featuring such events as: Lawnmower races, Farmer Olympics, and Frog Jumping contests.

It is there that Shawnee leader Tecumseh was killed during the Battle of the Thames.

In tribute to this war hero, a monument stands across from the field where the battle occurred.

[2] Thamesville is also the birthplace of famous Canadian author Robertson Davies who wrote the Deptford Trilogy of novels (Fifth Business, The Manticore, and World of Wonders), in which Thamesville is fictionalized as the town of Deptford, Ontario.
