The Olde Hide House - "It's worth the drive to Acton"
The Olde Hide House is situated in a converted warehouse that was constructed at the turn of the last century. The building itself is very large and has an open atmosphere that is very interesting. 

Their official website (Leathertown) is here and they also supply the history of the Olde Hide House here.

They have an amazing selection of leather clothing and furniture and it is worth the drive just to look around the store. They also have an indoor play area for the children which is located right beside a complimentary refreshment bar.

The Olde Hide House had several stores located around Acton which were consolidated within their main store. They had "Flight Aviation in the downtown core along Highway 7 and off Church St E they had the "Western Warehouse." You can see some of the planes in the Olde Hide House that they used to have located at the Flight store.

During a large part of the year the Acton Trunk sale is held in the parking lot in front of the Olde Hide House on Saturday mornings. On summer Friday evenings people use the space to show their cars.

For a short period GO Train had a stop in Acton located right beside the Olde Hide House - but it didn't last long and the train no longer stops here.
