Located two hours north of Toronto, Ontario, Muskoka Heritage Place is found just 1 km from historic downtown Huntsville - with all the amenities downtown has to offer: shopping, restaurants, pubs, accommodations and entertainment.

Visitors to Muskoka Heritage Place enter through a turn-of-the-20th-century Muskoka museum to a 90 acre outdoor site encompassing Cann Lake and nature trails. Life in the late 1800s is historically recreated with genuine settlement dwellings from the Huntsville area. Costumed narrators demonstrate pioneer life.

Muskoka Heritage Place is the proud home of the Portage Flyer. Ride the beautifully restored train along the Muskoka River to Fairy Lake. Learn about the essential link the "World's Smallest Commercial Railway" played in local development by opening up transportation, settlement and tourism routes in Huntsville and Lake of Bays.
