In the late 1800’s, during the early days of tourism, many American visitors came to Muskoka’s shores.  They fished, hunted, and camped in the wilderness, but it wasn’t long before the area’s visitors began knocking on the doors of settlers, looking for some of the comforts of home.

The history of Ontario is exciting and relevant to Canada and North America. Our goal is to use emerging technologies to present the stories that weave the makeup of our province in a way that is interesting and accessible to young and old alike. We create sets of modern, entertaining media meant to teach, preserve and promote our past. We are a non-profit venture funded primarily by the Ontario Trillium Foundation in partnership with the Living History Multimedia Association.
