1. Wholey Barn

[center][b]Photos inside soon to come![/b][/center]

I come to this barn a lot, it is in the middle of a field, and its very peaceful, it has a large oak tree out front that has collapsed over to one side, and some old farm equipment in the front and some in the back of the barn. An old boat is on the right side of the barn. Inside you will find a lot of different animal pens, along with some bones from deceased animals. There is a lot of old doors window frames etc, in the front part of the building that I have yet to walk through because of the pile up of stuff. There is a ladder leading to the upper part of the barn, the floor is mostly good but it is obvious where there is decay. Be safe when going to the upstairs part.

2. Old House on Myers Road

This house has been abandoned for a while. Surrounded mostly by fields.

Added by CrazyCarClub - Built in 1910 this was the former home of the Dunn family. In May 2018 it was intentionally set ablaze by a 20 year old man and his 3 acquaintances. They crashed their car nearby after fleeing the scene, were caught by the OPP and charges were laid. I've included links to 2 articles about the house. One from the fire and one from after the sentencing.

3. Puce River Black Community

This cemetery contains 2 tombstones, in opposite sides of the fenced graveyard, along with a plaque from the Ontario Heritage Trust. The site itself is beautiful, with many trees. I'm not sure if the bbq and plastic chairs were dumped there, or if it has been used as an informal meeting place.
