SUMMARY:Cruise and Tour of Ruthven Park National Historic Site and Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Ruthven Park National Historic Site is a remarkably intact 1\,500-acre country estate located along the Grand River in Cayuga\, Ontario\, that chronicles five generations of the prominent Thompson family. Formally established in the mid-1840s\, the estate reflects the political\, military\, and commercial evolution of 19th-century Upper Canada.   \nThe Thompson Dynasty (1840s–1993)  \n\nDavid Thompson I: A Scottish descendant and War of 1812 veteran\, he built his wealth as a contractor on the Welland Canal and a primary promoter of the Grand River Navigation Company. He secured approximately 1\,200 acres from the Crown to anchor his business enterprises.\nThe Mansion (1845–1847): Thompson commissioned master builder John Latshaw to construct a majestic 33-room\, 10\,200-square-foot Greek Revival villa made of ashlar limestone. It is widely considered Latshaw’s residential masterpiece.\n\nThe Landscape and The Ghost Town of Indiana \nThe estate was masterfully modeled on the 19th-century British Picturesque style\, intentionally blending structural elegance with raw nature. It features sweeping lawns\, a family cemetery\, a red-brick gatehouse (c. 1867)\, and outbuildings arranged around an enclosed central courtyard. \nDirectly north of the mansion lie the archaeological remnants of Indiana\, a once-booming 19th-century industrial town. Founded around David Thompson’s regional milling businesses\, Indiana thrived via river locks and dams. However\, the bankruptcy of the Grand River Navigation Company in 1861\, coupled with new railway lines bypassing the area\, caused Indiana to decline into a ghost town by 1905. \n\n\n\nMilestone Year \nHistorical Designation & Preservation Details\n\n\n1995\nOfficially designated a National Historic Site of Canada for its rare\, complete cultural landscape.\n\n\n1996\nThe Ontario Heritage Trust secured a heritage easement to permanently protect the villa and surrounding scenery.\n\n\nPresent\nOwned and operated by The Lower Grand River Land Trust Inc. It serves the public as a museum\, historical archive\, and environmental reserve protecting critical Carolinian slough forests.\n\n\n\nThe Niagara Corvette Club has arranged a private 45 minute tour for our group at 11 am on Sunday August 16th. \nWe currently have room for 20 to 30 Members on this tour. If there is sufficient interest\, we can try to book a second tour. \nAfter the tour of Ruthven\, we will cruise to Caledonia on the Grand River and have lunch at The Real Hammer Hogs BBQ\, where we ate on a previous Grand River Fall tour. \nWe will then return back to Niagara along a scenic route on the south side of the Grand River\, crossing at Dunnville. \nPlease use the RSVP button below to sign up for this tour. Please indicate the total number of Members attending (1 or 2 Guests). \nThe tour price is approximately $15 per couple\, with members responsible for the cost of their meals. Final tour and cost details to be provided closer to the event date. \nPlease contact John Mytroen drive@niagaracorvetteclub.com for details. \nIf the event is listed as full\, please email John and let him know you are interested in attending\, if spaces become open\, or a second tour is added.

SUMMARY:Grand Bend Track Day
DESCRIPTION:Exclusive Track Rental for NCC Members at Grand Bend Motorplex \nTuesday Sept 15th\, 2026 – 1 to 4 pm raceway rental \nWe have another great opportunity this year to take your Corvette out on the technical track (road course) in a controlled environment with your fellow Club members. \nThe track is fully staffed with a Marshall and corner workers\, and we limit the number of cars at a time to approximately 6 Corvettes. Our target group size for this event is 12 to 14 cars. This sets the cost per car at just over $120.00 for the event\, which is a great value for a private track rental that provides everyone with a tremendous amount of track time. \nEach group of cars typically stays out on the track for 15 to 20 minutes at a time\, after which you will want to pull back into the pits and cool yourself and the car down. Entry is controlled by the Marshall\, but you can exit at any time. Passing and corner rules are to be strictly followed\, and drivers are allowed to proceed around the course at their own comfort level. Passengers are allowed in the vehicle on the track (no extra cost for passengers and spectators)\, although helmets are required for all participants. \nThere is enough track time available that we may allocate a session for those who really want to test the limits of their Corvette. \n \nOur group would meet at Prudhommes Landing around 9 am for the 2-1/2 hour drive to Grand Bend. Same as last year\, a large group from the Corvette Club of Ontario is on the track before us\, so arriving early provides a great opportunity to watch them in action on the track and socialize with a lot of Corvette enthusiasts. \nClub members who would like to join in the drive to Grand Bend and watch the track event\, without taking their Corvette on the track\, are welcome to do so without any cost. Please email me separately at events@niagaracorvetteclub.com to indicate your interest in just the drive and being a spectator. \nPlease use the RSVP link to sign up for this event. Just enter 1 Guest for yourself\, as we don’t need to know how many passengers/spectators are attending. Once the total number of attendees is confirmed\, payment and event details will be provided. \nPlease contact Craig Gemmel at events@niagaracorvetteclub.com with any questions.
