Saturday excursions

Here are some places to visit on a summer saturday in the Hamilton region: the Devil's Punch Bowl, the Stoney Creek Dairy (whose website has been under construction for years!) and the Erland Lee (Museum) Home, site of the first Women's Institute. In the basement of the latter there is a model of the long defunct Hamilton, Grimsby & Beamsville Electric Railway, one of a series of radial railways that crisscrossed southern Ontario in the first decades of the last century. All of this goes to prove that one needn't go too far afield to find interesting things to see.
