Red Fox mural
Painted in 1988 by Craig Campbell, The Fox Mural has been a popular heritage destination in Perth, being the back drop for many wedding photos and tourists alike. The story behind the wall comes from Craig himself: after dissolving his marriage, he found himself needing a place to live. The owner of The Red Fox, Larry Geroux, offered to let Craig stay in an upstairs band room if Craig could clean it up. In exchange for lodging, eating, and drinking at the Fox, the owner asked for Craig to paint the back wall which is how the “Welcome To Perth” mural came to fruition.

dry-stone bridge
This bridge was constructed (without mortar!) in 2016 as a bicentennial project in Perth.

Courthouse cannons
A relic of the American Revolutionary War, they're some of the only surviving three-pounder artillery pieces produced specifically for an army led by British General John Burgoyne, which campaigned in Canada and Northern New York before surrendering to the Americans at Saratoga, New York in October of 1777.

Built and maintained by Friends of the Garden for the Blind, the Round Garden is visited by more than 5,000 people each year! Check it out at the Lanark County Administration Building at 99 Christie Lake Road.
