Treherne

Experience Treherne and its daily life

The town of Treherne is located in the RM of South Norfolk . If camping is your preference, enjoy the shady Cottonwoods Campgrounds with lots of serviced sites. “The Fort”, located in the campground, provides hours of safe play for your children. You can enjoy a swim at the heated Tiger Mountain Pool, located at the southeast corner of the campgrounds, or go down the street and spend time at the Treherne Museum . The museum office is located in a restored house and there are two large buildings, full of items from the past. Among the buildings is a restored Blacksmith Shop which is actually functional, as demonstrated at the open house in June.  Across the street is a collection of old farm machinery. You’ll want to plan to spend several hours here. You will find all the amenities you need, for your camping experience in town.

Perhaps you’d prefer to stay in a hotel or motel. The Birch Motel has rooms available to rent as does the newly-opened Creekside Hideaway Hotel. The Boyne Valley Nature Trails, located along the Boyne at the east side of town, provide an opportunity to stretch your legs.

The Delahunt Golf & Country Club is located approximately 2 miles east of Treherne on Hwy #2.  This scenic 9-hole course offers large grass greens, watered fairways, pro shop, snack bar, rental clubs and carts at reasonable rates. Tees are closed Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for club events.

For your spiritual needs, you are welcome to attend services at the Anglican, Catholic or United Churches .

Treherne Annual Fair

The Treherne Agricultural Society holds their Fair at the end of June. The fair starts with the judging of the inside exhibits. The inside exhibits range from baking, flowers, schoolwork, vegetables, canning, quilting, forages and cereal grains. There are classes for all age groups.

The second day start off with a pancake breakfast served under the cottonwoods in the campgrounds. There is something for everyone at our fair. After breakfast you can take a short walk over to the show rings where the Treherne 4-H Beef Club Achievement and horse show line class start off bright and early. The inside exhibit hall opens for the public to examine the breath-taking exhibits.

The purebred cattle show and the exciting horse performance classes get underway after lunch. There are educational displays for everyone to browse through. We have an excellent display of vintage cars and trucks. If you ask, you could get a ride in the vintage parade of cards and trucks.

There is entertainment for all ages. We start off in the morning with a children’s midway that will be eager to entertain children of all ages. In the afternoon there is a kiddy carnival. For those that enjoy old time music, bring a lawn chair and sit under the cottonwoods and enjoy local talent. If you are looking for something to do, come on down to the Treherne Fair.
