    3. Hello Ron and Elaine: If they were just from Owen Sound Libraries - Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library www.owensound.library.on.ca - The library has the collection of the Bruce Grey Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society plus other books of their own - city directories, census records - transcriptions and microfilm, etc. Grey Roots - includes the Museum, Archives and tourism information www.greyroots.com Depending on your interests Billy Bishop Museum http://www.billybishop.org/ Marine Rail museum http://www.e-owensound.com/marinerail/ Tom Thomson Art Gallery http://www.tomthomson.org/ - next door to the Art Gallery If they were church members - perhaps a visit to their church. Check the city directories to find where they lived and see what the neighbourhood looks like today. Take time to walk along the harbour area and visit Harrison Park. www.owensound.ca - city's tourist web site. This will give you information on accommodation etc. As I live in Owen Sound, I have never stayed in any of the places in town so I can't speak for any of the places from personal experience. Perhaps others on the list will have places to suggest. I hope you have an enjoyable and profitable visit to Owen Sound.

We are planning a trip to the area this summer. Greenwood cemetery is on our list of places to visit but we were wondering what other places list members might recommend we might visit. What about other cemeteries, museums and/or libraries? Are there any great places to stay?
