Unfortunately, after highly recommending this seemingly active tour to several people the fact came to light that several of my peers had an IDENTICAL experience down to the TIME of occurrences. Not similar. IDENTICAL. This only came to the surface, after I had asked to compare their experiences to ours. I had not shared any specifics. Being previous participants they were able to specifically state the several highlights of "communication" that occurred... My husband and I are extremely discouraged as our date night and genuine interest in the world beyond, was successfully mocked and tricked.

Wow, this is an AMAZING local history museum loaded with much more than just cheese history…read more A suggested donation of $3 (and yes they'll take USD if you don't have CAD) includes a guided tour if you'd like one, and access to all of the buildings. The main building houses an impressive collection of local artifacts. There's a historic music room, breathtaking hand carved wooden artwork, Native American history, and local history (about famous residents including the Ingersoll family, the cheese factory, and other local companies). We especially enjoyed reading about the 27 year old from Ingersoll, ON who traveled the world solo in the 1930s. This building has AC, a gift shop, and guest book by the entrance/exit. Go outside and visit the blacksmith shop, the old school house, the mill, and brick oven, the barn, and the cheese factory. The cheese factory isn't a working cheese factory, instead it's an old building with a ton of cheese-making artifacts, and information on how cheese was made. Ask for a tour, or watch the 20 minute video when you get inside. Ingersoll Cheese Factory is what made this town famous, when the 7,000 lb+ wheel of cheese made an appearance at the Worlds Fair in Saratoga, NY, then shipped to England to be sold. The only thing we were disappointed with was that they do not sell cheese here. However in the factory museum, there's a free brochure about the local Cheese Trail that lists a few nearby places that do, and other cheese attractions to visit. I highly recommend visiting the museum. It's only a minute off of the interstate and well worth the detour! You'll also be greeted by very friendly staff and learn some interesting history too!

It's not a big Christmas market but I would say it's worth visiting for its charm and reasonable prices. A portion of the sales also go towards the maintenance of the historic house. They had a multitude of items, all handmade and local. We spotted knitted accessories, pottery, maple syrup, jam, baked goods, jewelry, Christmas ornaments, and much much more. We ended up picking up an adorable knitted baby bonnet for $3 and matching knitted shoes for $6! Once we had our shopping fill, we headed to the tea room for a break. The room smells very homey with the aroma of cinnamon and crackling open fire. For $10 each, you can get your choose of tea or mulled cider with a plate of cookies and baked goods. All proceeds in the tea room go towards the Bouvaird house. I got a Christmas chai and my partner got a mulled cider. The teas are stash brand but I think their mulled cider is made in house. The cider was flavourful and comforting and I would recommend it. You can also explore various rooms in the house when visiting that contain signs with educational information and facts. Admission and parking is free! Overall I really enjoyed my visit. The staff were kind and we learned that everyone is a volunteer! We were given an informational card that lists their 2023 events. I'm interested in returning for one of them and actually called a friend right after the visit to recommend they go for their Christmas shopping lol!

I was extremely impressed with my visit here (even without a tour) as the displays had plenty of educational text and context which helped me understand what life was like on the ship. At 115m long, with several levels to the ship -- be prepared to spend a few hours exploring all the different parts of the ship and wear comfortable shoes to make it easier to navigate around the stairs and bridges. Dress light as most of the ship is not air conditioned, but this typically isn't a problem with a light wind blowing throughout the ship. Highly recommended if you enjoy history and especially if you have not been on a Navy boat before. Well worth the time if you're visiting the Hamilton area.

Even if Aunt Jemima hadn't been cancelled a few years ago, I'd probably be officially switching to…read morereal maple syrup after this excursion. One of my cousins has a bit of an obsession with natural sweeteners and scheduled a trip to White Meadows for us last weekend. It was a bit of a drive from our Finger Lakes Airbnb that involved a literal border crossing, but honestly was worth the trek. I wasn't sure what to expect beyond a deluge of maple leaf signs/flags, but I definitely left with an appreciation of the insane amount of work required to make this without using mass-produced corn syrup. We'd scheduled a tour, subsequent syrup tasting and charcuterie board for a 1:30pm start time. Not knowing what drama we might encounter at the border (there was absolutely none - deliciously uneventful; this isn't the border anyone gets particularly riled up about), we got here super early and had ample time to look around the gift shop. I barely considered the implications of the tariffs and didn't bother buying any maple syrup - understandably when I went to the farm's website later, it indicated they're not shipping to the US right now. That decision will haunt me for weeks and maybe months to come. Our guide was Nathan, who was an absolute superstar. I can't recommend this guy highly enough. He was engaging and knew how to talk about the science and concepts behind maple syrup and its cultivation on the farm in a way that was easily digestible but also very in-depth and informative. We were in a pretty inquisitive group, and he fielded a myriad of questions ably; I also liked that once or twice, he didn't know the answer and just said that - sadly a rarity in this day and age. But that didn't happen very often; Nathan knows maple syrup. The tour consists of a 10 to 15-minute discussion in one of the prep rooms near the gift shop (where most of the equipment and technical terminology is broken down), followed by a 10-minute tractor ride to the woods on the other side of the property to the tree-tapping area where the majority of the tour takes place, followed by a ride back to the starting point and a five-minute tasting of the four syrups made on the farm. One piece of constructive feedback - there were several young children there who were honestly a bit of a distraction. This is probably school age kid friendly but there were some very antsy toddlers (and even an infant) who just weren't old enough for this. I'd put a disclaimer up on the website that this isn't really appropriate for pups that young so the parents know ahead of time not to bother booking it. It is really wild seeing how much goes into creating maple syrup on a mom-and-pop farm like this. The intricate weaving of the taps/tubes throughout the forest leading to a storage tank out of site, and seeing how aggressive you have to be to take advantage of the very narrow window that sap can be harvested? Had no idea. If nothing else, you'll definitely come away from this being blown away by the syrup trade and the immense work required. You just never think about this stuff when you're at the diner pouring (not real) syrup onto your pancakes. The tasting and charcuterie were really good too - if you're already here, I'd spring for the charcuterie so you can sample the syrups and assorted meats/cheeses on a grander scale than just the tasting. The only annoying part were the yellowjackets constantly trying to get in on the fun (which I found out in Canada are more commonly referred to as wasps). I honestly have no idea how they can fix or alleviate that issue since by definition you're putting sweet/sugary stuff out on picnic tables, but might be worth troubleshooting down the line. Absolutely would recommend if you happen to be in the general Upstate NY area and have your passport handy. But make sure you actually buy the syrup there - I have no idea when I'm going to get a chance to sup on the Golden grade of syrup again.
