8 days in Essex Itinerary

Essex is a town with a population of 20,427 in Essex County in southwestern Ontario, Canada, whose municipal borders extend to Lake Erie. Change things up with these side-trips from Essex: Pelee Island (Fish Point Nature Reserve & Lighthouse Point Provincial Nature Reserve). Spend the 23rd (Wed) exploring nature at Point Pelee National Park. There's still lots to do: do a tasting at Oxley Estate Winery, don't miss a visit to Amherstburg Navy Yard National Historic Site, get engrossed in the history at Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village, and steep yourself in history at Fort Malden National Historic Site.
