A Rich History
Founded in 1887, the Glen Drummond Farm has been home to the Dyment Family for six generations. The family welcomes guests for weddings, corporate events, school tours, and family fun weekends. Although agriculture was the primary focus for the family for a long time, historical notes indicate that the farm has always been a mecca for folks to visit.
The first known wedding ceremony on this farm took place in 1915. Located on one of the highest and most scenic locations along the very edge of the Niagara Escarpment - overlooking Dundas, Hamilton, and beyond - it is a magical place to visit. It's no wonder so many people decide to celebrate their love on this stunning property. [1]
