The Spirit of Canada Gallery is located at the Drope Century Farm which has been in the family for more than 135 years and was purchased at the time when Sir John A. Macdonald was in office.
The farm is located just fifteen miles north of Cobourg, in the village of Harwood, on the south shore of Rice Lake, part of the Trent Severn Waterway. The village of Harwood, in 1854, was the site of an important railway station for the historic Cobourg and Peterborough Railway.
