1. Bell Homestead National Historic Site

3. Mohawk Chapel – A National Historic Site
Visit Ontario’s oldest surviving Anglican church, the **Mohawk Chapel**, built in 1785. This Carpenter Gothic landmark is a Chapel Royal and honors Joseph Brant and Mohawk history. Its serene grounds make a meaningful backdrop for sympathy or celebration flowers.
4. Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts
Catch a show or concert in this beautifully restored 1919 venue, the **Sanderson Centre**, located downtown. With seating for over 1,100 guests, it hosts everything from orchestras and dance recitals to community events. Consider pre-ordering a stylish floral arrangement to enjoy before the performance or send to the performer post-show.
5. Brant Conservation Area & Grand River Trails

7. Arts & Culture Spotlights
**The Ford Plant** (now memorialized) was a groundbreaking indie music venue in downtown Brantford, while the broader **Brantford Arts Block** still nurtures creative energy.
