Welcome To My Hometown!
Campbellford, Ontario
One of my favourite things to do on a day off is to take quick drive to Campbellford. Where I am so proud to call my hometown and it warms my heart to see how far it’s come.
Campbellford is a quiet community, perfect for farmers, cottagers, and families looking for some green space.
Fun fact: Campbellford is the home of the Toonie (where the artist designed it), you can see it proudly standing in Old Mill Park, the heart of the town.
