About Us

From its' origin in 1970 as a cottage industry, Rich Hill Candles & Gifts has blossomed into one of Muskoka's favorite family attractions. The business was established on a small farm in a community in Central Ontario, originally settled by Irish immigrants from Rich Hill, Ireland - hence the company name.

A large factory-viewing gallery provides visitors with the opportunity to enjoy a panoramic view of the candle production floor. The antique taper dipping carousel is estimated to be over 100 years old, and still functions every day dependent entirely on "people power"- the candles are all hand crafted! Our "in factory" candle dipping room puts you in the "heat " of the action, as you create your own candle souvenir to take home, working right next to the chandlers!
