Trout Creek

Location:  Parry Sound District   N 45 59.197   W 79 21.679
Beside the firehall, at the corner of Main Street and McEachern Street.

 

This classic memorial was erected in August 1920, by the Women's Institute of Trout Creek.  Constructed of Scotch Granite, the monument stands seven feet tall and features intricate stonework engravings of the names of those who gave their lives in the Great War, and later World War II.  The cost of the memorial in 1920 was priced at $250, but the loss of young men was so much greater to this small community.
