When the United States and Canada teamed up 60 years ago to build a hydro-electric power generation station and the St. Lawrence Seaway, 6,000 Canadians lost their homes. About a dozen small towns and villages in Eastern Ontario were flooded out of existence.
Several of the buildings were moved to what became Upper Canada Village in Morrisburg, Ontario, and ten were saved and restored at what is now the Lost Villages Museum.
Learn what happened to these villages and the people who lived there in this PBS report that was broadcast Sunday.
