South Main Plaza Dog Fountain in Mount Vernon, Ohio

At the heart of South Main Plaza in Mt. Vernon sits an unexpected menagerie: a fountain crowded with painted cast-aluminum dogs, watched over by a cat, a pony, two pairs of birds, and, inexplicably, an apple. At the very center sits a golden bone, and the cat, smart enough to know better, keeps itself perched safely out of the spray. It all started when Gambier resident Phil Samuell saw photos…

Yale Historic Site in Yale, British Columbia

British Columbia, like California, owes its founding to a gold strike. Gold was discovered in 1858 along the Fraser River in Fraser Canyon, upstream from this point, and thousands of men arrived in the ensuing gold rush. Because it marks the upper limit of practical navigation on the Fraser, Yale rapidly became a transshipment point to the wagon roads that were being built upstream, and hence a…

Burpee Covered Bridge in Gaspereau Forks, New Brunswick
