The town of Mildmay, is
located on Highway 9, where the community retains its old-time flavour
when it was originally known as Mernersville. The village has its
beginnings in 1867 when Samuel Merner surveyed a town plot. When a
post office was opened there in Confederation Year, it took the name
Mildmay after Mildmay Park in London, England.
In the early 1870s, when Mildmay became a station on the Wellington,
Grey and Bruce Railway, the community grew rapidly, at one time vying
with Walkerton for the County Seat.
The Station Tavern is worth a
visit and stands right across from where the Mildmay Station stood. It
CN passenger coach offer a unique dinning experience.
The line later became part of Canadian national and was abandoned
in the 80's.
