Tales of Miners' Bay

7:00 - 9:00 pm, Tickets $15
HHOA Fish 6712 Gelert Road, Haliburton, ON

Local historian and colourful character, Russ Wunker, takes us on a journey back in time to discover Miners' Bay. Russ has many stories but one of his favourites is the mystery of the Lost Indian Silver Mine: A century ago, local residents knew the story of the mine that gave Miners' Bay its name. Today, the story is muddled, or forgotten. Local geology may provide a clue to this mystery.

Russ will also tell us about the early days of tourism at Miners' Bay. As a gateway to Haliburton County, this area helped shaped our tourism industry. Vintage postcards, photographs and memories tell the tale.
