Bronze plaque located in Belle Ewart Park in the community of Bell(e) Ewart in Innisfil on a large stone. The plaque also bears the coat of arms for the County of Simcoe. The inscription reads: "Bell Ewart began as a steamboat landing and railway station after the railroad reached Allandale in 1853. A spur line was built from Lefroy, and the village, named after landowner Jas. Bell Ewart, grew rapidly. It was, for a time, the main shipping centre on Lake Sicmoe. A large sawmill was built employing 200 men, and Bell Ewart prospered in the lumbering era. After a decline in the late 1860's, the village again flourished with the ice industry, about 1870-1942. Ice was cut from the lake and shipped to Toronto and other Canadian and U.S. cities in the largest operation of its kind, until electrical refrigeration brought it to an end. Erected by S.C.H.A. 1985."
