PERTH: Eastern Ontario's Exciting Getaway Destination. Every year more and more people are finding Perth a great place to spend a weekend or a week.
Located along the Rideau River Canal System in eastern Ontario, Perth's waterfront basin adds to its tourism appeal. The town was established in 1816 as one of three military settlements set-up to protect Canada from possible American invasion following the War of 1812. Its historic architecture, museums and parks offer great opportunities for recreation and fun.
Perth's heritage stone buildings date back to the 1800s and create a charming easy-to-shop compact downtown along the Tay River. Dozens of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants line the streets of Beautiful Perth. Take a look at one of our self-guided walking tours. The tour highlights Perth's classic stone structures and points of interest.
