Watson Weekend

Saturday, August 22 & Sunday, August 23 - 11:00am to 4:00pm

Take on the task of solving the case at everybody’s favourite homestead!

Calling all amateur sleuths! It’s time to put your basic investigatory skills to use at the homestead by taking part in this fun and inexpensive activity that’s great for groups.

Land surveyor Arthur Holland has been hard at work mapping the area around the Giscome Portage, carefully recording notes and collecting soil samples. Unfortunately, he seems to have misplaced both his notes and the soil. Gather your team, sharpen your wits, and get ready to track down Arthur's missing items!

Make your way to General Store to get your first clue and work at your own pace to find Arthur's notes and samples – don’t worry, the staff will be on hand to help with hints and pointers!

This self-guided event, which we would describe as an outdoor escape room, starts at 11:00 AM, and you have until 4:00 PM to finish. Visitors are welcome to start at any point throughout the day until 3:30 PM. Registration is not required and magnifying glasses are optional!
