Tillsonburg Trip Ideas

194 years ago, one Mr. George Tillson discovered a beautiful area nestled along the banks of the Otter Creek.  While he claimed the land then as Dereham Forge, this was the true beginning of the town know today as Tillsonburg. Through out the town's history, it's been known for everything from oatmeal and tobacco (hello Stompin Tom) to an Olympic basketball team, vintage military aircrafts and a hockey empire.  One thing that has truly stood the test of time though?  Tillsonburg's entrepreneurial, innovative spirit that has grown roots in farming, health and wellness, culture and more.  These itineraries are just the beginning of all the ways to explore the town.
