Bala's Museum

Bala's Museum in Bala, Ontario preserves both Muskoka's local history and the life and work of Lucy Maud Montgomery in a former boarding house where she ate during a two-week stay in the village in 1922. Jack and Linda Hutton bought the long-vacant building to save it from demolition and opened the museum in 1992 as Ontario's first museum centered on Montgomery's life and writing. Its collections pair early Muskoka artifacts with rare Montgomery materials, including Anne of Green Gables dioramas, editions and translations of the novel, period publications, personal items, and surviving pieces of Anne's early screen history. The museum later became a designated historical site.
