About 100km northeast of Windsor, before Chatham, is Uncle Tom’s Cabin Historic Site. Uncle Tom was the fictional protagonist and namesake of the book written by Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1852, based on real-life hero Reverend Josiah Henson. The 5-hectare site displays articles relating to the story and the Underground Railroad, as well as a theater, gallery and interpretive center. To get here, take exit 101 off the 401 and follow the signs.
