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.
