Fryfogel Tavern & Arboretum

Directions Contact the organization

Fryfogel Tavern & Arboretum Perth County's oldest European structure! Built by Swiss immigrant Sebastian Fryfogel in 1844.

We are now CLOSED for the season
Come out on Sunday, October 4th from 10-4 for our Fall Market! Definition of an Arboretum: Webster's Dictionary defines an arboretum as "a space for the scientific study and public display of various species of trees (and shrubs and plants)". Distinct from a park an arboretum is an educational conservancy promoting the awareness that the natural environment needs protection & deserves concern. Mission Statement: The Fryfogel Arboretum seeks to engage, educate and enrich it's visitors so they may become better stewards of nature and the environment. This mission will be achieved through the care and utilization of both the historic Fryfogel Tavern and the surrounding five acre (2 HA) property now being developed as a long term Arboretum project - an on going gift for future generations! Goals: It is our intention to re-establish those trees, shrubs and plants which are and were indigenous to our local area as well as those of southwestern Ontario such as the trees of the Carolinian Forest - that tract of land at the most southern part of the province. Paths will be established, new trees will be planted along these paths across the property. The trees and shrubs and plants will be conserved and identified in their natural settings for study and appreciation. We will consider additional exciting installations such as an historic apple orchard as the arboretum project moves forward. As well it is our intention to investigate how we might be involved in conservation of threatened plants of Ontario!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our first ever vendor market last Sunday! While we had a rainy start, the sun ended up shining and we had an amazing turnout ☀️

We ended up raising over $1,000 at this event! All proceeds will go towards adding a ramp at the back of the building to increase accessibility.

Thank you to our event organizers Emily and Rachel, our incredibly talented vendors, our volunteers/board members, all of the wonderful visitors/customers who came out to support this important cause, and everyone else who helped to spread the word and make this event such a success!

Stay tuned for event updates in the new year. We can’t wait to see what 2027 has to offer!
