Tea & Talk
The Trent Valley Navigation Company

Enjoy tea and homemade goodies as Barb McFadzen tells the story of TVN reflecting on a time when waterways were the highways of the region and Bobcaygeon was a bustling hub for both commerce and leisure.

The Trent Valley Navigation Company (TVN) was a steamboat and navigation enterprise based in Bobcaygeon in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It wasn’t a massive corporate behemoth, but it played a significant role in shaping travel, commerce, and tourism in the Kawartha Lakes region.

Help Us Celebrate 150 Years of Bobcaygeon!

As we prepare to celebrate Bobcaygeon’s 150th anniversary, we are inviting residents, families, and community members to help bring our history to life.

Do you have old photographs of Bobcaygeon — past events, streetscapes, businesses, cottages, community gatherings, or everyday life through the years? We would love to share them as part of our anniversary historical display.

Photo Submission Details: 

• Please mount each photo on black construction paper 

• Ensure names, dates, or a short description are included if possible

• Mounted photos will be displayed on a community wall for everyone to enjoy

This is a wonderful opportunity to honour our shared memories and showcase the people, places, and moments that shaped our community over the past 150 years.

Thank you for helping us preserve and celebrate our history!
