Niagara on the Lake
The Nantucket of Canada - a little jewel of a spot, easy driving from Toronto and a world away from the midway atmosphere of Niagara Falls. Go to the Angel Inn and see if you, too, can encounter the ghost of Captain Swayze in the cellar! Winston Churchill called the Niagara Parkway "the prettiest Sunday drive in the world" - and it is, lined with tons of spots of historical interest from McFarland House to the Laura Secord Homestead. Stop by Brock's monument and have a glass of the local Niagara wine while overlooking the battleground of Queenston Heights. And next year, the 200th Anniversary of the War of 1812 will make Niagara the place to be for Canadian history buffs.
