George street, Sydenham's "main" street back when Sydenham was a boom town!

 A Little History of Sydenham:

Sydenham was once big enough to have it's own hotel, unfortunately it is long gone now

Mica

Sydenham is situated on Sydenham Lake (you will notice it as you drive past the Foodland), and is about 20 minutes north of Kingston, Ontario's oldest city. Sydenham, the village, grew as a mining town in the 19th century when the demand for mica (a mineral that used to be used in place of glass when the ability to withstand high temperatures was required) was high.
