Downtown Barrie is filled with secrets! What you see is not all there is. Your favourite Dunlop Street East shops are housed in 1870s-era buildings, most of which rest on foundations that are even decades older. For one day only, take this walking tour, hear some stories, and see rarely viewed historical spaces. Hosted by the Barrie Historical Archive.
Doors Open Barrie is supported by Creative Barrie, the cultural development branch of the Economic & Creative Development Department. This year, Doors Open Barrie is incorporated into the City’s Culture Days programming. When paired with Culture Days, it provides a unique opportunity to present free, hands-on arts activities in Doors Open sites, giving residents and visitors a chance to learn about Barrie’s arts, heritage and business community.
