Frost Walks

I'm very happy to say that Frost Walks are back for another season! I had my first tour this afternoon; it was lovely despite the grey weather. And it's May Day today! Hooray! May the coming summer months be fertile and productive. ~~~ Illustration by Edith Cubitt circa 1900, Victoria & Albert Museum.

Some wintry cows on Leander Street, circa 1940. The building behind the telephone pole is Tarrant's store, now the site of the Island Grill.

Happy holidays from Frost Walks! Did you know that the snowbanks here on the island used to be so high that you could touch the telephone wires if you stood up in your sleigh?! Photo circa 1960, taken across from Town Hall.

Tours are back in action, for a short time only!! Tour this Sunday @ 2:30; other times available by appointment. ~~~ #fallisalmosthere #butnotquiteyet #stilltimeforsummerfun #historicwalkingtour #heritagetourism #kingstontourism #heritageontario #infrontenac #infrontenacambassador #1000islands #wolfeisland #wolfeislandontario
