On July 18, 19 and 20 of 2003, the Heritage Resources Centre (HRC), in connection with the Perth County Historical Foundation, put on a workshop in the historic Fryfogel Tavern just outside of Stratford. The workshop was well attended by individuals from a variety of fields and backgrounds. Amateurs and professionals, students and retirees, architects, artists and planners all found the opportunity informative and useful. The workshop was lead by Phillip Grover, an expert in historic conservation from Oxford-Brookes University in England. In addition to Mr. Grover's excellent first hand knowledge, the workshop featured many opportunities for interaction among the various participants, a chance to examine a historic building in the midst of a major restoration, and the opportunity for social activities.
