The village of Priceville sits on Grey Road #4 between Flesherton and Durham, in Grey County.  Originally established by escaped and freed African-American slaves, and named for one of them, James Price, the original settlement sat along Old Durham Road (now Durham Road B), east of today's village.  At this location, they also established a school, church and cemetery, however none of them remain today.  Many of these inital settlers eventually moved north to the Owen Sound area where their myriad contributions have been well documented by an exhibit at the Grey Roots Museum.

In the early 1850s, development of what we today consider the village of Priceville was begun by Scottish imigrants who built a saw mill, carriage shop, undertaker's and eventually even a hotel.  Though those buildings remain today as private homes, the centre of the village is almost entirely residential, the exceptions being Lisa's Country Cottage which functions as a full service post office/general store/coffe shop/take out restaurant and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church which recently celebrated it's 150th Anniversary Year.

Cottagers and full-time residents alike are attracted to the rolling hills, meandering river and casual friendliness that Priceville has in spades.  The Saugeen River criss-crosses the area, allowing for swimming holes, picnic areas and fishing as well as canoeing and kayaking.  Local children make good use of "Priceville Hill" for tobogganning, the playground and baseball diamond, as well as the newly created outdoor skating rink at the local community hall, Stothart Hall.  Stothart Hall is also the meeting place for the village's Santa Claus parade every second year, the annual Fish Fry which draws crowds from as far away as Singhampton and Collingwood, and the Priceville Improvement Commitee's annual Canada Day Firewords and Country Jamboree which attracts thousands each year.
