The river is called Moon River, and the amazing thing is that it drains water from the entire Muskoka watershed, incl. three big water bodies - Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau, and Lake Joseph. And all that water hurtling down right beside the church building, all the way to Georgian Bay.Les Palenikhttp://www.advantica.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31101098.post-58952850319829989662012-01-15T20:40:56.165-05:002012-01-15T20:40:56.165-05:00Glenn,

It used to be a real, functioning church (I can't remember the denomination), but in late nineties, it was converted to a store. First retail reincarnation was an art gallery (I even sold some pictures there), but the gallery didn't last very long, and then it became a regular tourist store. Nice building and beautiful location.<br /> <br />As to Lucy Montgomery Maud, she is rumoured to have stayed at the Roselawn Lodge (now a private property) on River Street in Bala, just a few houses down from the museum. The museum has a nice collection of dolls, clothes, and various home artifacts from that era.Les Palenikhttp://www.advantica.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31101098.post-5639492457990620152012-01-15T11:43:23.987-05:002012-01-15T11:43:23.987-05:00Get the Dog!!!
