“Three Tobacco Kilns
– Pioneer Line, Aldoborough”
Whether you are a user or grower of tobacco or not, it doesn’t
matter. These old colourful tobacco kilns have been a part of our
rural landscape since the beginning of the twentieth century. They
are an important part of our agricultural landscape and these old
insul-brick covered kilns are being replaced with high tech metal
boxes or in most cases, the farmer as got out of growing tobacco and
looked for alternative crops. Our scenery is changing rapidly and
you know me, I want to preserve these images of Elgin County before
they are all gone. I want my grandchildren to see Elgin as it was.
