About the Event
What a glorious and fun week we had in ONTARIO blessed with perfect walking about weather, and inside when some rain came. Our first venue was the NIAGARA area, visiting The Falls, Niagara Village and DUNDERN CASTLE. The castle, more of a 40 room grand manor house of 18,000 sq.ft. built in 1835 by Sir Allen Napier MacNab who became the first Governor of all Canada. We were treated so well and the docents were very knowledgeable not only about the castle and its grounds but Allen MacNab's history and accomplishments. Black Walnut carved staircases and banisters and innovations such as gas lights, indoor water closets and piped in hot water. We viewed the gardens and MacNabs own Innis Bhuidhe where he was originally buried but later removed and re-buried between his two wives. The entire visit was highly entertaining and educating.
Day two was mainly a travel day up…
