Whether you hike, bike, ride the rails, or drive, the shore of Lake
Ontario can yield a treasure trove of heritage sites and natural
beauty - if you know where to look.
Travel with Ron Brown as he probes the shoreline of the Canadian side of
Lake Ontario to discover its hidden heritage. Explore "ghost ports,"
forgotten coves, historical lighthouses, rumrunning lore, and even the
location of a top-secret spy camp. The area also contains some unusual
natural features, including a mysterious mountain-top lake, sand dunes,
and the rare albars of Prince Edward County.
From small communities to the megacity of Toronto, history lives on in
the buildings, bridges, canals, rail lines, and homes that have
survived, and in the stories, both well-known and long-forgotten, of the
people and places no longer here. In From Queenston to Kingston, Ron
Brown provides today's explorer's with a window into Ontario's not so
distant past and shares a hope that, in future, progress and historical
preservation go hand in hand.
