These stunning storyboards will be displayed on the exterior of the Heritage Boatworks building adjacent to the ship\u2019s ticket office at Muskoka Wharf so that passengers and visitors can follow the chronological journey, with each painting representing a significant event in Muskoka.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were lucky to receive a grant through the Heritage Canada Legacy Program in celebration of\u00a0 <em>Segwun\u2019s <\/em>100th anniversary last year, from her days as the <em>Nipissing <\/em>paddle wheeler to her relaunch as present-day Segwun on July 9th, 1925. This funding has allowed us to commission a group of talented,\u00a0 local artists to create these 16 original paintings. We can\u2019t wait to see the paintings displayed this Spring and to watch visitors discover our rich history as they stroll through this creative exhibition!\u201d, noted Cathy\u00a0 Tait, Marketing Associate.\u00a0We are inviting everyone to join us on March 28th from 2 pm to 4 pm at Muskoka Discovery Centre for the unveiling of these storyboards, to meet the artists, enjoy live entertainment, delicious appetizers, and a commemorative <em>Segwun <\/em>cake. This is a free event and celebration for the entire community.
