The McLelland General Store - as it is today.

Summer at Ballycroy

The house was build between 1850 and 1860 - although there are no records of the exact dates on the construction of the house. The land was purchased by McCellland in 1846.

Almost a hundred years ago the house at Ballycroy stood at the junction of the Toronto-Orangeville roads. Travellers going in both directions stopped at Ballycroy. At its zenith the town, built at the Headwaters of the Humber River, supported three mills, two hotels, the McClelland General Store, a millinery shop and a racetrack.
