We just moved up to Peterborough so for us it is quite a drive out to that part of the province.

Actually the Canadian Canoe Museum started as the Kannowa (sp.?) Canoe Museum in a log building at Camp Kandlor near Dorset. I used stop there on my way back from solo canoe trips in Algonquin. It was great to see Kirk Whipper get the order of Canada, got to know Michael Kettemer the curator at the time very well.
The new location in Peterborough is beautiful and well worth the visit, but most of the collection is in the warehouse at the back. The log buildings at Kandalor were a little scary with buckets of water throughout as fire suppression, but you couldn't beat the location.
Please forgive the highjack.
Cheers,
Ken
