Ontario is full of hidden treasure. Down village streets, in city lanes, and along quiet country roads lie its most unusual sights, houses that seem to float, a river that disappears, log cabins in the centre of a major city. All await the curious explorer. Monuments to murders, massacres and mysterious spy camps bring to life the lesser-known aspects of Ontario's hidden heritage.
