"Giant's Trail" - A 20-foot (6-meter) "Full circle" wood carving scene created by the late Wilson Johnston depicting the pioneering trek of his ancestors, the Dunkades, from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to Cambridge, Ontario, in the 1700s.


Had it not been for his belonging to Oxford County, I had not ventured into the idea. The three pillars stand in each other's horns. The small town of Ingersoll is the cheese capital of Oxford County. It became famous in 1812 for its homemade cheese production. In 1866, it produced a giant cheese wheel of 3311 kg, which was exhibited at the New York Fair and then traveled to England for exhibition, and gained a worldwide reputation as the Cheese Capital.


Cheese is a milk product made from milk, which is concentrated and fermented, and is called "milk gold". The demand for cheese raw materials is large, the production cost is high, and the nutritional value and product price are also high. Raw milk makes cheese with a 10:1 yield, and cheese has 8-10 times the protein and calcium content of milk.


Half an hour drive from London to Ingersoll town, today is mainly to visit the Ingersoll Cheese &Agricultural Museum, this cheese museum is very interesting, admission and parking are free, you can donate!! The staff is very warm, and the small park behind the Museum is all cheese themed, so lovely. It's a little cracked on the outside, and it's still cracked on the inside, but bring the kids.


My favorite way to eat cheese: Brushed cheese is always tempting. The museum is divided into indoor and outdoor museums, where you can make a Donation and learn about the history and culture related to cheese, as well as the process and tools of making cheese in the past.


I actually took a ton of photos of outdoor museums!! But can not let go, may continue to share the guideline ha ha ha ~ ~

The kitchen at Louie's Pizza & Pasta constantly smells delicious. downtown Ingersoll is also worth seeing, with City hall originally built in 1853, destroyed by fire in 1856, and the current City Hall built in 1990.
