Ottawa Valley - A Natural And Cultural Paradise
The Ottawa Valley of Ontario Canada is a kaleidoscope of pristine natural beauty and unique cultural heritage. It is a tapestry that blends cultural and natural wonders. If you are an intrepid outdoorsman, an art connoisseur, or simply a tourist who has a sense of history, Ottawa Valley is a place for you.
The Bonnechere Caves is a delight to naturalists, geologists or even to ordinary students out to learn more about rock formations, stalactites, and fossils for their science class. The Bonnechere Caves is now a favorite destination for field trips considering that fifty years ago it was only an unassuming part of the landscape. For a relaxing evening of music and entertainment consider a visit to the Stone Fence Theatre. Ottawa Valley is simply dotted with unforgettable locations and awe-inspiring sceneries.
On your way to the Bonnechere Caves, you will find vestiges of rural Ottawa with its rustic homes, cultivated farms and traditional barns. The fossils at the Caves reveal that the area eons ago had a warm tropical climate. Visitors will have the opportunity to examine the artifacts and learn about their historical background from the guides.
The cave is composed of cavernous chambers and narrow corridors which at the time of discovery were immersed in total darkness. At present, visitors can have a taste of what the ancient dwellers might have experienced when they too are thrown into total darkness to relive the moments of discovery. Several layered vaulted walls punctuate the narrow passageways at various intervals.
Glistening water, seeping through countless apertures within the cave, produces a cool temperature of 10 degree Celcius; so that as one steps out of the cave on a summer day, one will somewhat experience the refreshing whiff of a tropical breeze in a tropical forest.
The Stone Fence Theatre, which is located at the Our Lady of the Angels Parish in the historic town of Brudenell, close to Eaganville in Ontario, Canada, is a place where you can have a chance to travel, albeit vicariously, to the pioneering days of the first settlers.
Costumed actors, dancers and musicians showcase vignettes from the historic past spiced with the best humor and spirited acts. Yet, the entertainers are but a small part of the presentation. Even ordinary folks, you will soon realize, are deeply involved in the whole historical tableau. They prepare meals, conduct fundraising activities and art exhibits, and sell souvenirs and memorabilia, all throughout the performances.
The Stone Fence Theatre, according to them, is “A nonprofit community theatre dedicated to Ottawa Valley Heritage.
