{"product_id":"ghost-towns-of-ontarios-cottage-country","title":"Ghost Towns of Ontario's Cottage Country","description":"Explore the remnants of vanished villages across Ontario’s cottage country.\n\nCrumbling foundations lost in the forest, weathered buildings leaning wearily with age, cracked tombstones jutting from the ground ― all serve as haunting reminders of once thriving villages that have since been abandoned. Each of these locales has a distinct story to tell, stories that until now were confined to fading memories and grainy photographs.\n\nFrom 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.\n\nJoin Andrew Hind in exploring over a dozen villages across the districts of Parry Sound and Nipissing, Muskoka, and the Haliburton Highlands.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1459751132\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1459751132.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hind, Andrew\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
