The Great Lakes Seaway Trail runs along the southern & eastern shore of Lake Ontario, as well as along the St. Lawrence River. The trail is as rich in history as it is in scenery. Many battles during the War of 1812 were fought on this shore. Islands in the river have disappeared after horrific murders and mysterious men tried to hide from their indiscretions among them. Along the Seaway Trail, a house was built for Napoleon Bonaparte before he died in exile. And spirits of soldiers remain stationed their post.

Hidden History of the Finger Lakes

New York's Finger Lakes region is filled with compelling characters, tragic disasters and fascinating mysteries. Famed daredevil Sam Patch, known as the "Yankee Leaper," thrilled audiences at Niagara Falls but took his last jump into the Genesee River with his pet black bear, plummeting to his death. The first ever Memorial Day was celebrated in Waterloo in 1866 and inspired a nation to adopt the holiday. Seneca Lake claims its fair share of ships, including the Onondaga, which was blown up with dynamite as part of a spectacle to commemorate the sinking of the USS Maine. Author Patti Unvericht reveals the forgotten history of the Finger Lakes region.
