A Muskoka Dream Catcher

The dreamcatcher is based on an old Native American tradition where hanging a symbolic web over a sleeping individual would protect them from bad dreams. The web was made from a round wooden hoop, with fabric or yarn woven into a circular pattern, creating a center whole in the middle of the dreamcatcher. Typically feathers were hung from the bottom of the hoop for astatic purposes. Hung above the dreamer, the dream catcher filters dreams, blocking all nightmares and only allowing good dreams to pass through.

The Group of Seven

Sometimes know as the Algonquin school, the Group of Seven is a now worldly recognized painting group. Founded in 1920, the Group of Seven was an association of seven self-proclaimed painters, seeking out landscape and scenery to paint throughout Algonquin park and the surrounding area. A close friend to this group, however never a member, Tom Thomson is well known internationally for his paintings of the Algonquin area, and mysterious death in Algonquin park. The Group of Seven and Tom Thomson’s work is now distributed throughout various art galleries and private collections, with many of the pieces valued at well over a million dollars.

Franklin Carmichael (1890-1945),
Lawren Harris (1885-1970),
A.Y. Jackson (182-1972)
Franz Johnston (1888-1949),
Arthur Lismer (1885-1969),
J. E. H. MacDonald (1873-1932),
Frederick Varley (1881-1969)

Tom Thomson died in 1917, and since the Group of Seven was not established until 1920, he was never technically apart of the group. However prior to the group forming, his scenery shots of the rugged Canadian landscape inspired many of the friends, and is often attributed to the creation of the Group of Seven. For this reason, he is still considered one of the group’s founders. Some of his most famous paintings, "The West Wind" and "The Jack Pine" are two of the groups most iconic pieces. Another artist who associated very closely with the Group of Seven was Emily Carr, a famous Canadian painter with a very similar style, however she was not allowed to join in the 20’s as a female painter. Mural replicas of the Group of Seven’s work can currently be seen distributed throughout downtown Huntsville as a tribute to their contribution to Canadian art history.

Huntsville:

Huntsville was named after the first permanent settler of the area, Capital George Hunt. He arrived in the area in 1869, taking advantage of the Ontario Free Grants and Homestead Act. He was responsible for pushing the Muskoka road farther north from Bracebridge up to Huntsville, and establishing a settlement on the east side of the Muskoka River. As farming was declining, many farmers turned to lumber for work, and began seeking new areas to live, north of Toronto. Realizing the beauty of the scenery, many began to take summer tourists into their homes for the summer. By the turn of the century, the progressive village of Huntsville became an official incorporated township.

The present green swing bridge over the Muskoka River is actually the 4th bridge in its location. The original bridge was a raising bridge, however this was modified 3 more times before the current bridge was put in place. In 1876, the locks between Mary and Fairy lake were just being completed, which allowed the first steamship to go through in 1877. By 1888, trains were consistently traveling to Huntsville, with some trains even being heated and having electricity. The station was remodelled in 1898. In 1923 it became the Canadian National Railway. The present station was built in 1924.

The town Hall was designed by Ellis and Belfrey of Toronto in 1926. The post office was located on the main floor (until 1955), and the rest of the building was municipal offices, the courtroom, jail, and firehall, all in the same building. The clock in the tower on the town hall came from the old union Station in Toronto.
