Abandoned

To the best of my knowledge, the location is completely abandoned.

Biscotasing Church

Continuing on with my day trip, I decided to take a look at an almost-ghost-town, Biscotasing. While this town is a mere shadow of what it had been in the past, it still enjoys a busy existence during the summer, and hunting seasons.

Fort McNutt

During WWII, Shelburne, Nova Scotia was designated as an alternate port to Halifax Harbour. As such, the entrance to the Roseway River needed to be protected. Fort McNutt was constructed in 1939, and was in operation until 1943. It was garrisoned by the 104th Coast Artillery Battery.

RCAF Beaverbank

Construction of this site was completed, and operations began in the fall of 1954. During its 10 years of operation, RCAF Station Beaverbank would feature such search radar as the CPS-6B, FPS-502, FPS-3, and FPS-508. Height radar would include the Bangor NORAD Sector with headquarters at Topsham Air Force Station in Brunswick, Maine.

Partridge Island

Partridge Island, located in St. John, NB, served two important roles in its history.

Meech Lake Carbide Mill

Thomas Wilson (1860-1915) settled here in 1907 to study chemical fertilizers. The engineer, who had made a fortune with his discoveries and inventions in the field of electro-chemistry, considered this the ideal site for one of his most daring experiments.

Osseo House

I spotted this place while on my way to look for some mines. Looking around the outside, I realized quickly that this was a home that had children at some point. This would be further reinforced by the things I found inside.

Searchmont Station

This station was opened in 1903 as part of the Algoma Central Railway. Searchmont had become an important centre for timber and passenger business was growing until the Railway's changes in fares caused the volume of people departing from, or stopping at this station to drop off severely. By 2000, the station was closed, and the property is now for sale, but being managed in the interim by the Canadian National Railway.
