If approved during 2019 budget discussions, local residents will be able to visit Muskoka Heritage Place (MHP) for free. The move is part of a new master plan for the attraction.<\/p>\n

Town staff presented an updated fee schedule to Huntsville’s General Committee on November 22. Muskoka Museum would be free to access year-round for all visitors, the train museum and Portage Flyer would continue to have an admission fee for all visitors, and the pioneer village would have two different admission periods\u2014from Victoria Day through Thanksgiving, visitors would pay an admission fee while local year-round and seasonal residents would gain free entry, and for the remainder of the year the village would be a free-admission public park for all.<\/p>\n

If the fee schedule is approved during budget deliberations, it would be implemented in time for the 2019 season, said the Town’s Director of Community Services, Kari Lambe. (See the full proposed fee schedule here<\/a><\/span>.)<\/p>\n

The draft Muskoka Heritage Place master plan, which was presented to General Committee in August, includes other recommendations like a name change to Muskoka Heritage Park, a new pavilion for programming and special events, and development of trails for hiking and snowshoeing as well as a skating rink.<\/p>\n

According to the master plan, by the time recommendations are fully implemented in 2025, assuming that they are approved by council, revenues would more than double from a budgeted $152,432 in 2018 to a projected $324,456 in 2025, despite the free admission proposed for residents.<\/p>\n

Net operating costs would be higher over the implementation period of the plan, from a high of $431,479 in 2019 to $308,150 in 2025. The net operating cost for the 2018 budget was $252,356.<\/p>\n

As part of the resolution presented to committee in August, staff were directed to submit grant applications to seek funding for implementation of the master plan.<\/p>\n
