Southern Ontario
History & Culture.From Shakespearian charm to rugged river fancies, the undeniable allure of Southern Ontario lies in its diverse character traits.
Magnificent sprawling beaches that stretch for more than 800 kilometers (500mi) are in charming juxtaposition to such urban centers as Hamilton and Kitchener-Waterloo. Your group can be hunting for antique treasures in towns that are treasures in themselves one hour, and exploring the birthplace of the oil industry in historic Petrolia the next.
Southern Ontario is also synonymous with early Canadian history, as is evidenced by such cherished sites as the city of Windsor’s John Freeman Walls Historical Site, an 1846 log cabin that was a major terminal on the Underground Railroad. Meanwhile, groups can discover life in the early days of Canada’s first Black settlement in Amherstburg. A highlight of any visit to this region is the original Uncle Tom’s Cabin, located in Dresden. Treat your tour to a history lesson on the life of Josiah Henson, the defiant abolitionist and flamboyant evangelist who was the inspiration for Harriet Beecher Stowe’s famous novel.
For a final fling, the Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games, will surely get their toes tapping, while if they want to really immerse themselves in Southern Ontario, the underwater labyrinth of caves at Fathom Five National Marine Park, come complete with intriguing shipwrecks and sea life
