YOUR TURN

STAY

The Frontenac Club, once a branch of the Bank of Montreal, reopened midpandemic after months of renovations. It’s filled with history, and there’s a historian on site for guided tours of the property. Rooms are spacious and luxe. Be sure to book a meal on the patio. frontenacclub.com

SOUVENIRS

Trousdale’s General Store in Sydenham, Ont., not far from Frontenac Provincial Park, is a community landmark, and the country’s oldest general store (first opened in 1836). It’s stocked with books, personal care goods, art pieces and snacks, all from local makers and artists. trousdalesgeneralstore.com

OFF THE BEATEN PATH

About 30 minutes north of Gananoque, Ont., is off-thegrid Berry Homestead Farm. It is home to a family of donkeys, which not only help the owners maintain their land, but are keen to interact with visitors. A guided tour of the farm and its production systems includes quality time petting and brushing the donkeys. By appointment only. berry-h-farm.com
