Thistle Ha' Farm National Historic Site of Canada
To the north of the Hamlet, there is the historical site of Thistle Ha', which consists of a plaque on the side of the road; and an old Historical Hotel that has fallen into disuse. There are unsubstantiated rumours that an old inn stood at the corner of 5th concession and Brock Road that served as a staging point of the MacKenzie Rebellion. None of the buildings standing at that intersection are identifiable as public houses, but other historical buildings such as the Old Brougham Inn indicate that such businesses did exist meaning that the likelier is that the Inn itself was likely the staging point in question, if the rumors' are to be believed.
