🍅 Before there were waterfront strolls and sunny patios, Spencer Smith Park looked very different.

Did you know the area where the Waterfront Hotel now stands was once home to a tomato canning factory? 👀

Nicola from the Burlington Historical Society takes us back in time to uncover how Burlington has changed over the years, from canning factories to one of the city's most recognizable gathering places.

Burlington is full of stories hiding in plain sight. What piece of Burlington history surprised you the most? 👇
