Severn Bridge Fairgrounds

An annual fall festival has been held on these fairgrounds since 1903, but the fair itself has run since 1873. Organized by the Severn Bridge Agricultural Society — a non-profit, charitable organization made up of local volunteers — the Severn Bridge Fall Fair continues to provide family entertainment and raises awareness about the importance of agriculture in the community.

Fire Station No.1 (former Town Hall)

After the devastating 1877 Gravenhurst fire, the local fire department was established. A single-level building was constructed in 1969 to house the town’s fire and police stations. In 1993, a two-storey addition was made to accommodate municipal offices. Today, the former town hall continues to operate as Fire Station No. 1. Come and take a tour and watch firefighter training.
