Local Museums That Rock #MuseumWeek
/
In the spirit of this being #MuseumWeek, our Aaron Elliott put together this list of cool museums in and around Peterborough...
1. @CndnCanoeMuseum (Canadian Canoe Museum) We are pretty lucky to have a National Museum right here in our very city. Learn everything you ever could about canoes there!
2. @OnTheHill3 (Peterborough Museum & Archives) Here you can discover a lot about the history of Peterborough and check out many of the visiting exhibits that are always changing!
3. Peterborough & District Sports Hall of Fame Located at the PMC, this is the shrine to all that is sports in and around Peterborough. From hockey stars to softball and golf champs, there is so much history in this incredible collection! It's also a spot where you can check out the work of my very own dad, George Elliott!
4. @LangPioneer (langpioneervillage.ca) Lang Pioneer Village is a living history museum where costumed interpreters demonstrate the life and trades of an early settler. Step back 200 years in time! Located just outside of town in the village of Keene.
5. Hutchison House Located in downtown Peterborough, this is a living history museum offering a glimpse of life in Ontario in the 1800s.

Look At The Amazing Image Created To Greet Travel Media Association Of Canada Next Year
/
Peterborough & the Kawarthas Tourism (PKT) is hosting the 2015 Travel Media Association of Canada (TMAC) Conference & AGM in Peterborough in June 2015—the first time the well known association has chosen to host its conference in a rural destination.
This is a huge opportunity to showcase Peterborough and the Kawarthas—and all it has to offer—to travel journalists, photographers and bloggers across the country.
PKT are using a striking image (see above) by local artist John Climenhage that represents Peterborough & the Kawarthas to be included on marketing and conference materials, the conference website, email communications and collateral.
The image showcases a variety of local experiences, landmarks and landscapes, and will become a signature art piece to display at the Visitor Centre located at 1400 Crawford Drive.
