Driving Through the Village of Bethany (Kawartha Lakes)

Here is Bethany, a village in the municipality of Kawartha Lakes. Bethany is not far from Peterborough. Bethany has a lot of small town charm. In this short video tour, driving through Bethany, you can see bales of hay, pick up trucks, and a big truck, a church, a pharmacy, and the sunrise.

According to Wikipedia, "By 1869, Bethany was a village with a population of 300 in the Township of Manvers, then part of Durham County. It was a station of the Port Hope, Lindsay and Beaverton Railway. Since a stream passing through the village afforded power for machinery, it was a good position for a foundry, agricultural implement works and a tannery. The average cost of improved lands was $35 per acre while wild lands were valued at $23."

On Victoria Day long-weekend is a Classic Car show, tractor pulls, fireworks, beef BBQ and a dance (organized by the Bethany Athletic Society).

In 2016, news surfaced that actor Harrison Ford was moving to Bethany to enjoy a slower pace life. But at the time of writing, it is not known if this happened.
