you like,” says Pepper. “The more houses you see, the more chances you have to win prizes.” Prizes up for grabs during the event include an iPhone and a scenic aerial tour over Long Point. “We like to make it worth every- one’s while,” laughs Pepper, noting that many of the homes also offer light refreshments. The tour begins at the historic Station Arts Centre, winds its way westward along Quarter Town Line and out over to Harvest Retirement Community before finishing up at Annandale National Historic Site. “Annandale House is probably the most photographed historic home in Tillsonburg,” says Pepper. Built by Tillsonburg’s first mayor, E.D. Tillson, the property now ad- joins the Tillsonburg Museum, and is considered the best surviving ex- ample of the aesthetic art movement in Canada. “The hand-painted ceilings are amazing,” says Pepper. “Even the door hinges are beautiful. It’s really worth seeing.” While you’re there, you can also learn more about the enterprising Tillson family. Their business ven- tures were many and varied, includ- ing developing the formula for pan dried oats, a contemporary of the famous Quaker Oats.
