Hamilton, Ontario

We went here in the summer, but not during their big reenactment weekend, though I hear it is very well done. The costumed tour guide was very enthusiastic. It was especially meaningful when they took us down into the root cellar and told us how the American Solders locked up the Gage family in the cellar, took all their food, preparing to attack. Luckily the Gage family was saved by Canadian soldiers. We also climbed the monument tower and saw a great view of Hamilton, we brought some picnic food and ate under in the picnic shelter across the bridge.
