Each of these locales has a distinct story to tell, stories that until now were confined to fading memories and grainy photographs.From the northern shores of Georgian Bay to the eastern reaches of the Kawarthas, Ontario’s cottage country is littered with vanished villages, including settlement-era farm communities, railway whistle-stops, and logging hamlets. Within these pages, readers will venture into Ontario’s past to learn how these communities lived and died and to meet the people who invested their hopes and dreams in them. Dozens of photographs, many historical and never before published, bring these ghost towns back to life.Join Andrew Hind in exploring over a dozen villages across the districts of Parry Sound and Nipissing, Muskoka, and the Haliburton Highlands.Of Related InterestRMS SegwunAndrew HindThe Mariposa Folk FestivalMichael HillThe Great Canadian Bucket ListRobin EsrockGhosts of Niagara-on-the-LakeMaria Da SilvaToronto's Lost VillagesRon BrownReviews You would be hard-pressed to find a better snapshot about the back story of cottage country.The RecordPreviousNextContributorsAndrew HindAndrew Hind is an author and a local history columnist.
