These hills hold a history over 9000 years old. They've borne witness to murders, hangings and cholera epidemics as well as princely visits, political coups and almost unseemly extravagance. Dundurn Castle in Hamilton rises above steel refineries as a testament to both the struggles and triumphs of early life in Upper Canada. Dundurn is a historical gem with an action packed, bloody history that's largely unknown to Canadians.
