The Maxmobile
The Township is known as the birthplace of “The Maxmobile”, the first hand-made automobile in Canada. While Henry Ford was creating the world's first automobile in the early 1900's, a resident of Warwick Township, David A. Maxwell, was inventing an automobile of his own. As the story goes, Henry Ford was interested in developing a business partnership with Mr. Maxwell, who turned down his offer. This historic and monumental automobile is still in existence today and on display in the Old Fire Hall Museum in Watford. Visit the Maxmobile website to learn more.
Watford Carnegie Library
The Township also prides itself on being home to the historic Watford Carnegie Library. It was built as a result of a donation from the famous businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie in the early 1900's.
