At the junction of County Road 503 and Highway 118 in the quaint hamlet of Tory Hill, one can still see the effect of the railroads on small towns in earlier days. Though the common industries of rock and wood were scattered throughout the outskirts of town, the village of Tory Hill centred itself around the railway. Originally settled in the 1870s, Tory Hill expanded once the railway came through and ran three times a week from 1893 until 1960. In those peak years the community had four general stores, a school, church, cheese factory, town hall, blacksmith shop, two saw/shingle mills and a garage. The community was booming when uranium was discovered in the 1950s and three mines opened. The train whistles are no longer heard in Tory Hill but the hamlet still maintains its unique place in history.

Today Tory Hill offers great access to the old railway line which is now a multi-use trail network. The parkette also offers a play structure for children and ample parking. Stop and take a hike or just enjoy the parkette.
