<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> Despite the urban sprawl, industrialization and endless highway construction, Ontario possesses many hidden corners and lonely roads where the remains of earlier settlements, often constructed with immense effort against impossible odds, now lie forgotten. Some are no more than a few decaying foundations and collapsing houses, while others are littered with the remains of the industry and manufacturing that once thrived there. </p><p> There is a renewed interest in exploring our own backyard, and <i>Ontario's Ghost Town Heritage</i> is the perfect guide to these once-booming towns and villages. While some still maintain small resident populations, others exist only as abandoned buildings and ruins. All have in common that they are ghosts of their former greatness, and their images evoke the lost legacy of Ontario's past. </p><p> This fascinating book by Ontario historian Ron Brown explores over 80 accessible ghost towns in all parts of Ontario. Detailed driving directions invite you to experience the province's heritage for yourself. </p><p> This revised edition contains many new sites to visit and has been carefully updated with the latest information and driving directions. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>For adventurous travellers, there are 80 mysterious places to explore including villages that were once bustling, where now only a few people live or are even abandoned.
