Last summer, the Vampire,
el Presidente, Ricvictorian and myself took a trip to the Huronia Museum in
Midland, Ontario. Midland is located approximately 2 hours north of Toronto on
the picturesque shores of Georgian Bay. The museum is small, but densely packed
with local artifacts and information regarding the area's First Nations Peoples
(Huron & Ojibway), the marine history of Georgian Bay, art from the
Georgian Bay region, and Euro-Canadian culture pertaining to Huronia.
The Huronia Museum's
website describes the museum as having a replica of a 'pre-contact'
Huron/Ouendat village, including a lookout tower, wigwam,
and full-size longhouse. In addition, they house an exhibit gallery
featuring tens of thousands of historic artifacts ranging from photographs,
native archaeology and art by members of the Group of Seven, and others.
Please enjoy these photos from our trip! :-)
