The Quarry Story
Celebrate the new year by attending the YGH’s first 2026 walk!
Join Susan Ratcliffe for a winter walk and learn more about the Yorklands hidden gem — the quarry!
Uncover the site’s fascinating history and its connection to the Ontario Reformatory while walking through the beautiful, snowy winter landscape. Don’t miss out on a perfect opportunity to experience Yorklands through a new environment and perspective.
Fun Fact: At the quarry, the granite was quarried there by the inmates to use for building the walls and most of the buildings on the property since the OR opened in 1911!
