The histories and contributions of Ontario’s Black community are often given short shrift in the greater Canadian historical context. Arrive in Chatham and head directly to the Chatham-Kent Black Historical Society & Black Mecca Museum. There you can peek around at the exhibits that showcase the legacy of the Black community in the area since the early 1800s. Take it to go so you can enjoy at one of the picnic tables or sitting on the grass at the Buxton National Historic Site & Museum. Grab an early breakfast at the Chilled Cork or Eli’s and then set out for Uncle Tom’s Cabin Historic Site.
