Paisley- The Artistic River Village
Paisley is located where the Saugeen and Teeswater Rivers meet. The convergence of the rivers, combined with the artistic creative community make for a unique village to explore. Public art pieces scattered throughout the Village make for an interesting downtown, our shops and restaurants are a great place to stop along the way to your destination, and our residents are welcoming. We welcome you to explore Paisley!

Tarry a While in Tara
Visit Tara and check out the Wooly Mammoth located in front of the Rotary Pool. A mammoth tooth was found outside of Tara in a farmer's field in 1979, and can be seen on display at the Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre. This wood carving of a baby wooly Mammoth is a replica of the animals that would have walked the Tara area thousands of years ago. While you are in Tara, check out the Sauble River flowing through the community.
