Voice Of The Walkerton Area

The Town of Walkerton is so full of stories! For too long, the community had no forum to keep up with events, people, history, and special places that made an impression on us? The Walkerton Independent News has been gone for decades! We are the voices of rural America! This new lifestyle e-magazine exists to reflect the people of Walkerton, small town sentiments, and our lives. - Photo by Todd Back
