Butterfield Park was the home of the Butterfield family from the early 1900's. Most of the elements of their settlement still remain including 3 heritage buildings and the remains of the flower and bulb gardens which were beautifully developed by the family. Currently a project is underway to restore the gardens, uncovering the hidden treasures that have been temporarily lost to invasive species.

The first phase of this project is now complete. Please contact the municipality for more information
