Welcome to Windsor!

Summer's heat is lengthy and deep in Windsor, Ontario, one of Canada's most southerly towns. Grapes grow easily in the benign climate and wineries scatter the gentle farmland of the region. In Windsor, breweries rely on the high-quality hops and barley from nearby fields to create distinct local brews. However, agriculture was long ago eclipsed as the pre-eminent local industry by the automotive sector. For decades a section of Windsor was simply known as Ford City. Today, the industry remains vibrant, and is closely intertwined with the massive automotive sector just across the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. While trade epitomizes the relation between the United States and Canada in the 21st century, it wasn't always so. The two countries have fought bloody battles before establishing lasting peace, a legacy which has left its mark on this strategic point between the two countries. There are several museums in Windsor providing retrospectives on the War of 1812 the Underground Railway.
