About
Take a self-guided tour of Historic Port Perry. The guide will take you on two tours that encompass lower town Scugog Village and upper town Borelia. Each tour takes approximately 1 and half hours.
'Port Perry is a victorian connoisseur's delight with more architectural gems than any other community its size in the country. The main streets have been restored and gently roll down to the waterfront and up top homes that have kept their original grandiose from a century ago.'
These are self-guided tours, please follow any posted guidelines while out and about.

Scugog Arts
Scugog Arts is a creative hub: awakening, inspiring, and connecting you to all the arts. We are an arts space on Queen Street in Port Perry with Resident Artists, monthly exhibitions, and workshops for artists and visitors. Scugog Arts also organizes and hosts multi-arts cultural events, literary programs, festivals, and tours.
Scugog Arts connects the community with public art displays such as our Art You Can Sit On, a memorial to Bill Lishman, ceiling tiles for the hospital, and live theatre and music in the back lot.
Scugog Arts is funded by individual donors, Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation, Vos’ Independent Grocery, Old Flame Brewery, Canadian Tire Port Perry, Central Counties Tourism, and the Canada Summer Jobs program of the Government of Canada. Fundraising efforts always focus on unique ways and various arts disciplines with engaging entertainment for supporters.
