Spontaneous Jazz on S.S. Keewatin

July 24, 2012 / Bryan / Leave a comment

Just over a month ago, S.S. Keewatin, the historic luxury cruise ship, returned to Port McNicoll after 46 years amid much fanfare. Recently, Huronia Museum was granted a special tour of the interior of Keewatin, and our cameras were rolling.

During the tour, the Keewatin’s Eric Conroy and Huronia Museum’s own Nahanni Born struck up a spontaneous tune right on the floor of the Flowerpot Lounge.

Beginning next week, Huronia Museum will be posting portions of our tour right here at HuroniaMuseum.com as well as on our Facebook page and YouTube channel. Be sure to check them out!

March 13, 2012 / Bryan / 2 Comments

From an early age, Ethel Chynoweth learned to make native-style art from her mother. Working with beads, leather, porcupine quills and other materials, Ethel is able to express her creativity with one-of-a-kind, hand-made pieces. Much of her work (and exquisite porcupine quill boxes by her mother) are available to purchase in our Mundy’s Bay Gift Shop at the museum or in our online shop.
