    If you love history,this site is for you. You must go !
    First of all,this is not a "castle". Someone decided to attract travellers.This is just a big house without any walls and towers. Also this is not Versallis,but Canada is not France. LOL. We liked this place,because they created very good atmosphere of XIX century. A guide Natali had old-fashion dressing. It was so amazing. :-) When I visit historical sites,I always have interest to ordinary things,not fancy sides.I mean that I want to know how people lived in that period.I want to see washrooms,bathrooms, rooms of housekeepers,laundry,kitchen for cooking,storages etc. We could see this side of daily life in XIX century. I am sure that children cannot value this house. I'd recommend to read history and have imagination about that period,before visiting this site.

    Pride of Early Hamilton
    Don't expect the full coverage of steam technology from trains to steamboats. This is a museum of one thing, but that thing is displayed nicely. It is a former pump house of the early city's watermain. You can see the moving parts in action (of course, not coal- but electrically powered these days).

    Walking through time
    Visited on a coolish June Monday afternoon. We enjoyed walking through time with the buildings that come from different eras, but sadly no buildings were open to visitors. But we still spent more than two hours there, including some walking on trails outside the village center.

    Park setting in town
    Love the location and listen to entertainment put on by the town for free. Wonderful evenings out. Meet your friends and neighbours just when you thought it was your idea to invite them next time. Wonderful loud secret.
