This is the second of two hikes in The Dingle of the Caledon Hills. The first hike, on May 4, covers the adventures of the children and teachers who attended the historic 1872 Dingle Schoolhouse when it was used as a school.

The second hike will focus on world famous Canadian artist Rosemary Kilbourn. She bought the Dingle Schoolhouse after it closed as a school, and for over sixty years she made this beautiful place deep in the woods her home and studio. Ms. Kilbourn’s archivist and niece will join us on this hike, and will share stories about this remarkable, talented, and deeply spiritual woman. Our walk through the dingle will help us appreciate how Ms. Kilbourn’s work was inspired by the living presence of the land around her beloved home.
