Felt cute…might delete later..
Green ceramic Christmas tree with coloured lights.
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.
Gorgeous! Now added to my own inspiration file, thanks
An article titled "Doyle excited about future of Kawartha Lakes Museum, as it sets to grow" - outlining our plans to build a 5 floor addition to our current building (including three floors of exhibit and community space, and two floors of climate-controlled storage). A photo accompanying the article is of Managing Director Barbara Doyle standing in the courtyard of the current building, where the new build will be located.

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.
A faded, black and white photo of a hockey team from Lindsay, dating to the early 1900s. Their jerseys feature the letters L and M, separated by a horseshoe or Omega shape. Two men in formal attire stand on either side of the seven players - four players stand in the back row, and three sit in the front row, with the goalie in the middle.

A black and white photo of a hockey team wearing white jerseys with stripes across the middle and the letter M encircled, with wings; circa 1921. One player is holding a cat.
A photo of a very old pair of hockey skates, with rusty blades. The boot part of the skate is made of black leather. It has seventeen eyelets on each side. There is an extra strip of leather up the back. On the inside is an extra ankle support with a leather strap, which has four holes in it. The buckle is attached on the outside. Just above the buckle is a slot for the strap to go through. There is a tag with "McPhersons Lightening Hitch, patented 1903, Hockey Shoe" on it. The laces are black. The skates are size 9.5.
Hockey - is anything more quintessentially Canadian? Hockey has been an important staple in the lives of Kawartha Lakes residents for well over a hundred years.

Crochet granny squares in shades of grey, teal, gold, tan and white being stitched together to form a blanket.
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.
Shhhh it’s a SEGRET! 😅
A reminder to Kawartha Lakes folks that this event is happening in two days! We'd love to see you there.
