The prequel to What Hooks You Here....

What Brought You Here!

including...

The Ukrainian Connection

The Fort Frances Museum,
in partnership with the Ukrainian Literary Society,
will be featuring the history of our Ukrainian neighbours
in our community. 

Through photos and artefacts, we will tell the local Ukrainian story.

and...

Our Founding Families

In conjunction with Family History Month,
members of our newly formed Genealogy Group, 
along with other similarly interested parties,
will be showcasing the journeys they have taken
while researching their family roots.

Come explore the reasons why early settlers brought their families
to this region. Who were they? Where did they come from?
What brought them to Fort Frances and area as opposed to elsewhere?
What jobs employed them? Why did they stay?  

Our grandparents worked in the mill, in logging camps,
local businesses and on the family farm. They taught in our schools
and served on council. They lived through the depression and lost
loved ones in the wars. They struggled, but endured, making our communities
what they are today. We continue as a result
of their efforts. 

We all have stories to tell. Here are a few of them.
February through April. 

A Contest!

To coincide with our February holiday,
Family Heritage Day on February 24th,
the Museum is running a contest geared to
families and local history.

$50 & $25 prizes in each category: photo & heirloom

Coming in May...

Vaudeville: Voices of the Town.

Have you heard? Apparently that shipment of bootlegged whiskey
wasn't lost at all, but simply went astray! Keep your ears tuned
for something special!
