Day 1: the essentials
Start with the key stops. Day one covers the main sights in an order that doesn't waste steps.
Acadia Park
Acadia Park makes the morning: fresh air, room to walk, no tickets or timetables. It's the kind of stop that sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Glencoe Veterans Honour Roll
Don't skip Glencoe Veterans Honour Roll. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Day 2: go deeper
With day one covered, day two is for the town's other side: markets, neighborhoods, and the stops that didn't fit day one.
Hector Replica
Don't skip Hector Replica. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Legion Remembrance Gardens Memorial Stones
Don't skip Legion Remembrance Gardens Memorial Stones. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
