1. The Stirling Community Service Building Marker
Constructed in 1927, by the Howson Co. of Tweed, Ontario for a tendered price of 25,500 dollars. By-law Number 373 was passed by Stirling Council and signed by Thomas Montgomery, Reeve, and George Luery, Clerk, to borrow nineteen thousand dollars from the Royal Bank of Canada until debentures were sold. In 1927 a Board of Managers with representatives from the Council, the Women's Institute, the Agriculture Society, the Board of Trade and the Horticulture Society were appointed to operate the new buildings. In 1928, the Stirling Women's Institute, granted 2,000 dollars toward constructing this building on the condition that the Institute could hold it meetings here free of charge. Down through the years many community events have been held here, providing entertainment for the citizens of Stirling and community. To-day with the efforts of the Stirling Performing Arts Committee, the Village Council and with the financial assistance of the Ministry of Culture and Communications, the building is being refurbished and preserved for future generations of Stirling citizens.
