Kingston (Canada) : Kingston the Limestone City on the Ontario Lake
"A museum visit a day keeps the laziness away is just as true as if you were eating apples to keep the doctor away. Luckly Kingston never runs out of museums and never fails to entertain us. The Museum of Health Care may sound boring at first but the museum has a whole new world inside of it."

"Founded by the National Hockey League and the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association on September 10, 1943 – Kingston’s International Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum is the “Original Hockey Hall of Fame” and the oldest sports hall of fame in Canada. Captain James T. Sutherland of Kingston spearheaded the bid to bring the Hockey Hall of Fame to Kingston and was inducted into the hall in 1947 – one of the first forty members inducted into the hall during the Kingston-era. The Original Hall of Fame is proudly located in Kingston, Ontario."

"No need to drive to Toronto to get a little piece of hockey’s history. Fittingly located on the second floor of the Invista Centre, The Original Hockey Hall of Fame is filled with a ton of interesting facts and artifacts. The best part is the focus on Kingston-born legends like Doug Gilmour and Jayna Hefford."

"This lavish turn-of-the-century island castle in the middle of the St Lawrence is only around 25km from Gananoque, but technically in the USA, so you'll need your passport to visit. It was built by George C Boldt, original proprietor of New York's famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Many Thousand Island cruise tours stop here, or you can drive 23km from Gananoque to Alexandria Bay, NY, USA, where 10-minute shuttles cross the 1km of water to the castle."

"If you walk by and aren’t looking for it, there’s a good chance you might miss Coppers. This is because this pub downtown on Brock Street is located in an inn – and it’s sort of on a commuter street to the heart of downtown. That said, Coppers should be a stop you make if you like beer and chicken wings!"

Also known as “The Ports”, this establishment in the small town/neighbourhood of Portsmouth on Kingston’s waterfront has a rich history to it.
