Itinerary:

John Walter was one of Edmonton's foremost entrepreneurs and played a unique role in the development of our city. He established a ferry service, two lumber mills, a coal mine operation, a general store, a carriage service and numerous wood-related industries.

Come enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the beautiful river valley. See all three of John Walter's homes, and find out about Edmonton's history through the story of this fascinating pioneer family.

Added bonus: Scones, which rumour has it we might help create! Fresh from the oven, they're best served with jam or clotted cream, and a pot of tea. John Walter, like the majority of Scots, pronounced "scone" to rhyme with "gone"; you'll want to get there before the rhyme becomes a fact.
