About
Over the years expansion, population growth, fires and floods have altered the look of Schomberg’s Historic Main Street. Modern businesses inhabit the historic brick buildings along a well-lit street. Now a thriving community that blends heritage with modern amenities, Schomberg is a vibrant place to live, visit, dine and shop.
From On This Spot and the King Heritage & Cultural Centre comes a virtual experience that brings together the past and present in historic Schomberg, Ontario. Explore from your computer, or download the app and head to Main Street to see then and now photos and learn new and interesting facts along the way.
