Sights in Windsor

  1. Walls Underground Railroad Museum

    One of the best Underground Railroad historical displays is at the Walls Underground Railroad Museum, 20km east of Windsor. The original 1846 log cabin built by John Freeman Walls, a fugitive slave from North Carolina, is still here; it functioned as a safe terminal for others searching for freedom. Walls’ descendants still run the museum.

  2. Odette Sculpture Park

    Odette Sculpture Park, almost under the Ambassador Bridge, features a long run of zany 3-D efforts including a family of elephants, a huge apple core and twisty swan necks.

    Dieppe Gardens, constructed on land once used by Detroit–Windsor ferries before the 1929 bridge and 1930 tunnel put them out of business.

  4. Art Gallery of Windsor

    The jaunty glass-and-concrete prow of the AGW has an awesome permanent collection focused on contemporary Canadian sculpture and painting.
