John Muir
John Muir (1838-1914), the founder of the worldwide conservation movement and groups such as the Sierra Club, lived in Meaford from 1864-1866. He lived and worked with the Trout family in their sawmill, making rake and broom handles, until the sawmill caught fire in 1866. Evidence of his time in Meaford can be found by walking along Meaford’s Trout Hollow trail and by visiting the Meaford Museum.
