The Muskoka area is famous for its natural beauty - lush forests, granite rocks, and clear lakes. Wildlife abounds. And tourism hospitality has been the number one business since the 1890s.

Muskoka Heritage Place is located just two hours north of Toronto, in the town of 
Huntsville, within easy walking distance from the main street, and with convenient 
access to world-class Algonquin Provincial Park, resorts, unique artisans, tasteful 
restaurants, and many shops and services.

Muskoka Heritage Place is the primary historical centre in Huntsville, featuring two

Our Muskoka Museum takes you on a chronological journey beginning with our First People, settlement, development, industry and tourism. Plan to spend 30 minutes to 2 hours.
