If Yahoo Maps is correct Forest is just a little N.E. of Sarnia Ont/Port Huron MI. That would mean only a little over an hour drive to Detroit where you have the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. They have tours of the Rouge Steel plant again. If you are interested in steam locomotives the is a small museum in Owosso MI where they have the Pierre Marquette 1225 which is the locomotive they digitized for the movie The Polar Express. And isn't that far over to Toronto and Niagra Falls. There are lots of thing to do here in Michigan. I thought I could find the URL I had for Ontario's tourism office but since I'm looking for it I can't find it. There is lot's of nice farm ground up in that area, I've been to a couple auctions on that side of the border.
