Museum Week Day 7: Hope! 🤝

The Muskoka Lakes Museum shares Muskoka’s heritage to inspire and connect all generations. The curiosity and support that we receive from the community makes this possible. Reminders of shared Muskoka history, like the MLA Antique Boat Show, continue to bring us together and inspire new interest into Muskoka’s detailed heritage. 🛶🚢

Come visit the museum, to see your new exhibit Mahogany in Motion: 55 Year of the MLA Boat Show, or tell us in the comments, what makes celebrations of Muskoka’s heritage important to you?
