“Let’s close our eyes and try to picture what it must have looked like, right where you are sitting, before any of the first settlers came here. What do you see and hear?”
- forrest
- Mersey River
- birds
- animals
“There was somebody living here. Who was that?”
- the Mi’kmaq

“Now let’s move ahead to when Simeon came here.  What did the property and the surrounding area look like? Look around. What would have been here? There are three  of nine children we would like to introduce you to who lived at the Perkins’ house.”

“Now we are at Dr. Farish’s house. Dr. Farish built this house and there was a little girl who lived here.  Her name was Bertha and her younger brother James. When James grew up he became a Doctor like his Dad and when Bertha grew up she married a young man and stayed right here in town.  Can you imaging Bertha and James coming out to play?”

“Now we are standing in front of Dr. Jordan Smith’s house. This is where Richard and his little sister Emma lived. Their dad built this house just over 100 years ago.  Can you imaging Richard and Emma running into their Dad’s office and sitting on the verandah watching the horses and buggies going by? Probably running errands for their Mom. See how much of the street has taken over their front yard where they used to play?”
