Outing – Morden Mine Provincial Park – RSVP Required
February 24 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
A favourite is the walk-about at Morden Mine Provincial Park. It is exciting to see that the reconstruction is now complete and there is more signage than before to explain the significance of the park. As well, the “viewing” area allows for a closer look than before at the tipple as the fencing area has been moved. The structure certainly lends itself to a study of industrial architecture.
If you are learning more about the site and need directions for getting there, here are two links:
