  	Swan Inn
  	The Swan Inn Wrigley's Corners is at the corner of present-day Spragues Road and Wrigley Road in North Dumfries Township. The lake at this corner was once called Swan Lake, and a nearby inn the Swan Inn, perhaps because whistling swans rested there during their migrations. Prior to 1968, the wetlands in this area were sold to the Grand River Conservation Authority, which is still responsible for them. The first school at Wrigley's Corners was in the home of Joseph Wrigley. In 1834, a log school was built, which was later destroyed by fire. In 1854 a brick school was raised; it was used until 1954.
