Bead Hill
17th century Seneca archaeological site in Toronto / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bead Hill is an archaeological site comprising the only known remaining and intact 17th-century Seneca site in Canada. It is located on the banks of the Rouge River in Rouge Park, a national park in Toronto, Ontario. Because of its sensitive archaeological nature, it is not open to the public, nor readily identified in the park. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1991,[1] eventually becoming a unit of the national park system in June 2019.
