Fascinating #CanadianVisitList
These places are dear to my heart. It is so fascinating to get a glimpse of history and learn about the stories behind the buildings. I had the opportunity to visit these places around Ontario and I’m happy to share what I found in the descriptions below. I recommend that everyone have a chance to visit these places and many more that are part of the Historic Places Days. I love dropping by theses historical sites and speaking with people who work there and reading more about the sites. I absolutely love that Canada preserves historical sites so that people can visit them and learn about their history #canadianvisitlist
Places
Acton Town Hall Centre
Acton, Ontario
Acton town hall is a hidden gem in a small town. It’s more than just a building, it’s where the community comes alive! They have live theatre, music, and weddings. If you’re ever around Acton, you should definitely drop in and see it.
Montreal House
Mississauga, Ontario
this place has a raw and creative energy. Sometimes they have loud and fun music, other times they have poetry or a comedy show. You never know what you’ll see there, but it’s always a fun time.
Griffin House
Hamilton, Ontario
Built in 1827 it was bought by 2 formerly enslaved people who escaped. This farmhouse tells a story that really matters. Definitely worth visiting
Dundurn Castle National Historic Site
Hamilton, Ontario
Massive and stunning mansion from the 1800s. It feels like you’re stepping into a real life period drama. There’s fancy rooms and the stories behind it are amazing to learn about. A must see for everyone.
Fieldcote Memorial Park and Museum

Beautiful gardens, intimate museum and nice concerts outdoors. They even have outdoor movie nights!
