Jack & Linda's museum brings the world of Anne & LM Montgomery to life. For anyone who loves LM Montgomery's books, or the movie adaptations you will find this museum a dream come true. Jack & Linda can easily move through conversations on any of LM Montgomery's writings, as well as her life. Their charm and sprinkling of book references will delight those who know the books and characters. They opened the museum for my sister, daughter and myself on a rainy, cold November and once we were inside it was like we had stepped into a different world. Jack & Linda fed off each other's enthusiasm in making history come to life. They connected real world events to LM's writings that I had never noticed before. Jack charmed us with playing piano pieces from the first Anne of Green Gables silent moving picture. Linda reenacted Anne's baking scenes with my daughter pretending to be Marilla while my daughter was Anne. We just had such an incredible time. I would have loved to stay in the area for a couple nights to really soak in everything they have there, and talk with Linda and Jack. You can tell they have really dedicated their life to preserving this incredible part of Canadian history. Also should note that the gift shop is INCREDIBLE :) I loved it. could have spent hours just in that. I really liked that they had a mix of new and used gift items - everythign related to LM Montgomery and the world's she created. They sell all the books news, but also have a collection of all the used books - which was great because there were a few I was missing! Same with costumes and doll clothes - they had a mix of brand new items and also gently used items for those wanting to be more economical.....my penny pinching heart just loved it :)

Overall the tour couldn’t have been better! In his tour around his sugar farm, Tom explained us in detail the entire production of maple syrup, most important things to remember, short maple history lessons included ;) The tour ends with an insight in his valuable antique collections and a nice and delicious little maple products tasting. What we really liked about the tour was the authenticity of everything (it is not one of the farms just created for tourists) and the way Tom is giving the tour by integrating everyone, making some jokes etc. You can feel he’s passionate about the topic ;) We feel confident to be able to open our very own maple farm now :D Thanks Sugarbush Tom, great experience, we recommend it to all our friends!

Auburn is a beautiful small gallery filled with both established and emerging artists in a variety of media with a bent toward nature. Terry, the owner, has a good eye for design and can help her clients create artful retreats in their homes. With both indoor and outdoor spaces, Auburn is a must see when visiting Muskoka.

So many things were great - from informative videos to interesting artifacts and educational pieces. A real step back in time. Bonus water dock with several beautiful antique wooden boats. A must-visit for any boater and/or history buff. Probably not worth taking children under 6.
