Felt cute…might delete later..

It’s not wonderfully staged and is literally sitting on my kitchen counter, but it’s pretty, and iconic….made by my Aunt Helen back in the late 70s….and it was my mother’s…and it will always bring me back to the special Christmas memories of my childhood.

We're in the news!

Today's edition of Kawartha Lakes Weekly includes this article about our exiting expansion plans! We still have a lot of work to do (and funds to raise) before we can start construction.

My first real post… this is the task I have set myself. I will complete this king sized granny square blanket by the end of the month. It just needs piecing together and ends worked in. So many wips, so little time….

We were at the Lindsay Golf and Country Club this morning for the Lindsay District Chamber of Commerce Breakfast. We brough along a mini pop-up version of an exhibit we curated earlier this year for the Kawartha Lakes Police Service.

"Final Verdict" explores the history of capital punishment in Kawartha Lakes through the stories of Fred McGaughey and David Nesbitt. It will take a look inside the Victoria County Gaol, uncovering the grim realities of life within its walls and how these executions impacted the community.

We are proud to announce that our exhibit "The Old Mill" has won the Ontario Historical Society's 2023-24 Dorothy Duncan Public History Award! This exhibit combined on-site, travelling, and virtual components to explore the history of one of Lindsay's historic mills.

A reminder to Kawartha Lakes folks that this event is happening in two days! We'd love to see you there.
