We are a public art gallery located in Haliburton Village in the landmark rail station. We present engaging exhibitions of art and craft, cultural events such as Haliburton Art and Craft Festival (fourth weekend in July annually) and Haliburton DrumFest (Labour Day Weekend annually). Our Gallery Shop showcases over 50 local artists and makers and is a gateway to the arts community. Ask us a question about local artists and we are likely to know the answer! Our friendly staff and volunteers are very knowledgeable about the Haliburton cultural scene. During the summer Rails End Gallery Artists volunteers demonstrate their technique on the Patio during the busy Farmers Market held every Tuesday. Informal family arts programming is offered outdoors in the summer on our patio. Find out more information at railsendgallery.com or FB/railsendgallery

I’ve been coming for years and all my family and guests ask for more. You have to get there early for the best selection, but Bill and his wife Teresa make a lot of tarts and squares, also macaroons and cookies. The butter tarts are worth the goo that runs down my chin, love the coconut and the blueberry and the strawberry rhubarb; heck I love them all! Go to Donald and find out for yourself; tell them I sent you.

The Sculpture Forest is located in Glebe Park on College Drive a short way up Industrial Park Road. It’s beside The Haliburton School of Art and Design (Fleming College). Lots of free parking and admission by donation so it provides a very economical family outing. Ours was a beautiful fall day for a walk in the woods since the trails were carpeted with fallen leaves. There is a brochure of the sculptures but the trails are a bit of a maze and it is easy to miss some of the works. The park is unique with sculptures made from many mediums including limestone, cement, acrylics, bronze, steel, wire, beads, several types of granite and even old farm implements. My personal favourites were the large bronze Irish Wolfhound (Gelert), the salt and pepper bear carrying 2 children off on an adventure and the sleeping huntress on Belmont rose granite. But I was blown away by the beauty of an Indigenous father and son carved out of one piece of local granite. The colours in this work are exquisite. The statue was gifted to the Forest by the artist, John Beachli. There are upwards of 30 sculptures in the park- something to interest everyone. Highly recommended!
