Hershey Chocolate Factory

Smiths Falls - Watch your favorite chocolate bars being made on the tour of the Factory. We've been told it's better than the factory in Hershey, Pennsylvania, because you can watch the actual assembly line, instead of just a movie. Outlet store with great savings on the chocolates that didn't pass Hershey's inspection but might pass yours!

Little Blue Church

Located west of Prescott, in a very old cemetery, is the final resting place of Barbara Heck and some of her relatives. She brought the Methodist religion to North America.

Boldt Castle

Boldt Castle cost 2.5 mil to construct at the turn of the century, and over 10 mil to restore. Built on Hart Island (he brought in fill by boat to make it in the shape of a heart) as a testament of George Boldt's love for his wife Louise, construction was halted the day she died in 1904. It was never occupied. An opulent love story.
