Who once plotted rebellion right beneath stained glass windows?
Which legendary feud spilled out onto the ice changing local sports forever?
Why does a centuries-old relic sit hidden behind an ordinary museum wall?

Trace footsteps through grand architecture and gritty alleyways alike. Follow the surge of street festivals and the hush of untold moments. Guelph’s past moves all around—unexpected, electric, waiting to be discovered with every step.
