Sightseeing

Well worth a visit! Visit the island as it was in days gone by. Well preserved General Store, School House, Church, Log Cabin and Barn are filled to the brim with artifacts. The brand new Island Cookbook, A Dash of the Past, is a great souvenir to take home!

This is my favourite place on the island. Acres of woodland gardens and ponds in a gorgeous setting. The owner is often puttering about and is happy to answer questions or let you feed the turtles. Hint: Watch for the world's biggest asparagus bush! You'll be amazed!! Lovely place for photos.
