Introduction Ontario is full of hidden treasure. Down village streets, in city lanes, and along quiet country roads lie its most unusual sights -- houses that seem to float, a river that disappears, log cabins in the center of a major city. All await the curious explorer. Monuments to murders, massacres and mysterious spy camps bring to life the lesser-known aspects of Ontario's hidden heritage. This book features my pick of Ontario's top 100 unusual things to see. It combines the best features found in the 50 Unusual Things to See in Ontario series, updates them and adds new oddities as well. Most of the listings are easy to see and are available to the public, either through admission, or from a public vantage point. There is no particular order to the arrangement of the chapters in this volume, and that, in the opinion of this random explorer, is as it should be. Head out and discover whichever treasure appeals at the moment. Temples, towers and quirks of nature offer insight into an Ontario that few even know exists. And that's what looking for treasure is all about. Ron Brown, TorontoBrown, Ron is the author of 'Top 100 Unusual Things To See In Ontario ' with ISBN 9781550464252 and ISBN 1550464256.
