Hidden Gems in Windsor

Beyond the well-known attractions, Windsor has spots that locals love and visitors rarely find.

Black Pond Cemetery

year-round

A small, informal cemetery right off Windsor Mountain Road, tucked away next to Black Pond and Wediko camp. The weathered headstones tell stories of Campbell's Gore, Windsor's original name, with burials dating back to the early settlement days. Stone walls and old foundations nearby hint at the forgotten homesteads that once dotted these hills.
