When I was a student at Queen's, lo these many, many years ago, I lived in Brockington House, and could see the top of Sir John A McDonald's home from my room's window! I also recognize some of the other historic sites, but had no idea there were so MANY of them! Thanks for this trip down "memory lane"!
Thank you for leaving a message and watching the video. I love going down memory lane myself so I’m glad I was able to do that for you with this video. Thanks again for the wonderful message.
Hey Greg - the Frontenac Heritage Foundation is updating its website, and we want to include a link to this terrific video. Trusting you are okay with this. Also, do you have any other videos in the works? Just curious!
Hi Shirley. Thanks for the great message. Wow. Very appreciative. Please feel free to use the video for your site and I have some travel videos on the go but nothing Kingston related. But I do have a few ideas.😊
I have an antique shillelagh or cane which has an engraved metal band on it that says C. F. Collins Kingston 1816. I've done a little research but can only find the name John Collins who was a surveyor of many areas including Kingston in late 1700s (Collins Bay is named after him) died in 1795 I believe. So the cane could perhaps be his sons. Do you have any information on the Collins family in Kingston? Would like to find out who C. F. Collins is...Thanks!
Hi there. Sorry for the delay in responding to you. Thank you for watching the video and that is a very interesting piece of history you have. I have no knowledge at all about C.F Collins but I understand that Queens University has a ton of local archives available for people to view. The other point of contact to learn more about the Collins family may be to reach out to the Kingston Historical Society. They host meetings and release new updates on their website often, so they may be able to provide you with more details regarding your question. Good luck and thank you again for watching the video. Greg
@@greganderson1788 Thank you so much for responding. I will contact both of those places and hopefully get some more information on Collins family...will continue watching your informative videos....cheers
Its sad how little Canada supports the first capital though there should be much more then plaques at the historic places we should have much more museums and clear preservation of the history no one seems to be drawn to it as is
Best video I could find of Kingston Ontario! So much to see and so much history there it’s definitely on the travel list now! Great video!👍
