Get there: Haliburton County, south of Minden where the Gelert Rd. and Sedgwick Rds. meet.

There are 2 churches, school, 2 stores, old homes, town hall still standing.

Gelert began as a sawmill village and at times had been called Little Ireland, Snowdonville and Minden Station. First settled in 1860, Gelert was thriving in the late 1800s- especially after the 1878 of the Victoria Railway.

By the 1890s, Gelert had a post office, 2 general stores (both still standing), a shingle mill, a sawmill, a carpet mill, a blacksmith, a hotel, a carpenter, a shoemaker, a wagon maker, churches and a school.

Depleting farm soils (a common problem on the Canadian Shield) and losses of timber stands in forest fires are blamed for sending the village into decline. The post office closed in 1969 and CN removed the rail lines in 1980.

The cemetery at the east side of town is the resting place of a number of early Finnish settlers.
