FOYMOUNT

NAME: Foymount COUNTY: -- ROADS: 2WD GRID: 1 CLIMATE: Snow in Winter, Warm Summer. BEST TIME TO VISIT: Summer

COMMENTS: Worth Seeing. REMAINS: Foundations and ruins.

If there is such a thing as a modern ghost town, Foymount might be it, but only partially. Constructed during the “cold war” as a radar base and part of the NORAD system of hostile aircraft detection, the town sits atop the highest point of land in eastern Ontario. Intercontinental ballistic missiles made the base obsolete and the town closed down. Recently, however, a few inhabitants have made Foymount home but there is still much to see for the ghosttowner.
