Boldt Castle: Where Frankie Proposed

Frankie proposed when we were standing in the Dovecote of Boldt Castle, which is located on Heart Island in Alexandria Bay on the St. Lawrence River (on the NY-Canada border).

The castle has a beautiful story about George Boldt who built the castle for his wife. 

The island was originally called "hart" island for the male deers that lived on the five-acre island. After George Boldt purchased the island, he ordered construction workers to blast away parts of the island to shape it into a heart. Awww. 

More stories to come..
