This is like stepping into Yesterday and Far Away.This memorial was beautifully designed and built for the wife and young daughter of Thomas Foster - former mayor of Toronto. It's worth a lovely drive in the country and then to happen upon this. Plan your drive for a weekend when the Memorial is open or for a Saturday night when there's a jazz performance.

At least that was my first impression. However once you step inside you'll see that this building draws from numerous artistic styles and really stands out as something unique and special. From the floor to the roof the detail and artistry is exquisite. My favourite part would have to be the colourful floral motifs stretching up to the central dome. Beautiful! Really glad I took the time to visit this little gem.

We spent an interesting hour with the tour guide on Saturday and the architecture, mosaic tile, stained glass and the history of this mausoleum is well worth an hour and the small admission fee, a short drive north on main street just outside of Uxbridge.

A stunning gem; soaring architecture, beautiful stonework, and delightful mosaic tiles. Concerts every Friday evening in the warmer months provide an opportunity to sit and admire the design whilst ones ears are treated by local folk, pop, and classical musicians. Entrance is by donation.

I lived in the area all my life and took this attraction for granted. It is very well maintained and a must see if you are in the area. Just down the road is another attraction, the Lucy Maude Montgomery home, so doing both is very easy. Plus one of the famous 7 painters lived in the area also.

If you have any interest in buildings and architecture, you have to see the Foster. Yes, it's a mausoleum and yes, it's located in a cemetery. But the story of its origin (built by a former Mayor of Toronto) and the design and construction (Byzantine, modeled after the Taj Mahal, with unique details), make it a place to see. COme for a summer evening 'Fridays at the Foster' concert to hear local artists perform.

Built in the 1930's in an a wonder to see. Taj Mahal in India. Wonderful architecture and the mosaic and stained glass windows are amazing. A must see just north of Uxbridge on 1A or Main Street North. Just past the road to Sandford.

An amazing structure with a great story. Very beautiful inside and worth stopping in to see. Went to see a Friday night acoustic guitar performer and it was nice. Wooden chairs were not very comfortable, but still worth visiting. Admission was by donation.

While I am somewhat partial ( I am descended from one of the pioneer families buried on this property), a visit to the Foster Memorial leaves a lingering impression. It is a piece of unique architecture for this region of Ontario and I encourage anyone travelling in the Durham/Uxbridge region to check it out. It was inspired by The Taj Mahal in India and was built by a former Mayor of Ontario. The trick is to visit Foster when it is open. Its openings arent well advertised so its hit and miss. While I havent checked lately there is probably some info posted on the web now.

Small memorial just north of uxbridge went for choir singing but very packed space was too small for crowd of people.
