Today, we leave Ewetopia Farms behind, and as "The Wandering Shepherds," we explore the Historic Brockville Railway Tunnel—with a psychedelic twist! This isn’t your ordinary walk through history. Stretching under about five city blocks of Brockville’s historic downtown, this tunnel has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind experience with a dazzling psychedelic light and sound show. The mix of history and modern art creates an atmosphere that’s both fascinating and fun. We had heard about this tunnel for years, but nothing prepared us for how incredible it looks in person. Walking through and back again was unforgettable—and apparently, they even run trolley tours through it as well!
