Huronia Museum, a not-for-profit organization, was created in 1947 to collect, buy, trade or sell objects of historical significance, which are to be housed and exhibited for the continued education and benefit of the public. Huronia Museum has four primary themes at the foundation of its collections policy. The Museum will collect objects, papers, photographs and ephemera that relate to:
i) Huron & Ojibway First Nations Peoples
ii) Art, artists and art forms of the Georgian Bay region
iii) Marine History of Georgian Bay
iv) Euro-Canadian and Canadian material culture pertaining to Huronia
“Huronia” is defined as the geographic region inhabited by the Huron/Wendat people prior to their dispersal in 1649. “Georgian Bay Region” refers to the land and waters of the same geographic area.

this is my Great Grandfather.
I find him to be an amazing artist
He was also an amazing man and did anything that he could to help his family.
I loved my Great Grandfather
after a call to the Museum, I have got the suggestion that you are referring to W.J. Wood. what I am going to do is copy your post over to one of the posts about Wood.
The museum is very informative and l will visit again,,,thank you
l see you are having trouble getting elm bark, maybe the indians had that trouble also as everything is in cycles, they could have used white cedar bark which can be removed in large strips, much like elm, and makes the home bug-proof,,it even looks like elm bark.
I am interested in a book that a friend in BC said that you sell. I live in Arizona and would like the price plus shipping.
The book name is “a great lakes theasure of old post cards canadian harbour scenes 1894-1960″ by lorenso marcolin.I was a former diver of many Georgian Bay shipwrecks for 14 years in the 60s & 70s.
