Trip to Toronto, August 23 2014
We had to stay in Wawa overnight after the trans Canada highway was shut heading east after a truck reportedly flipped over and blocked it both ways.
“The Ermatinger Old Stone House has been fully restored to depict the domestic and professional life of Charles Oakes Ermatinger, as well as other respected residents who lived in the House between 1808 and 1896. The home was built with local red fieldstone and the exterior walls range from 30” to 36” thick, which provided natural protection against the elements. The flooring is original and is 2” thick by 6” wide, double tongued and grooved white pine. The majority of the doors are in their original form. The fire mantles are all reproductions, created with hand tools to closely preserve the original design.”http://www.ecnhs.com/VisitUs/OldStoneHouse.aspx
