The Central Manitoulin Historical Society offers an insight to a pioneers' life. With displays of a log cabin, two different barns that display the time and how they were quite advanced for what they had, and a blacksmith shop that you would have seen during that time. These can be explored through out guided tours. In the welcome centre you can look at our showcases that have a variation of Manitoulin history displayed in them and learn about the Island and it's culture and history.
