As a part of Huntsville Public Library’s Canada 150 celebrations, they have released special edition library cards that celebrate the culture and history of the Town of Huntsville. The three cards depict images shared by Muskoka Heritage Place (MHP) and local artist Janine Marson.
The first card is a photograph from the MHP collection of Captain George Hunt, Huntsville’s founder.

The third card is a painting by Janine Marson that will be displayed in her show “Through Tom’s Eyes: a Discovery of Truth, Light and Colour – An Exhibition Celebrating Tom Thomson” which opens July 1 in Partners Hall.

Library patrons can replace their existing cards with a Canada 150 library card at no charge thanks to support from the Friends of the Library.
