Bala's Museum
Bala's Museum, officially with the sub-name "With Memories Of Lucy Maud Montgomery", is a museum located in Bala, Ontario, Canada which is owned and operated by Jack and Linda Hutton. The museum was formerly a bording house operated by Fanny Pike at the beginnings of the 1900s and how houses artifacts from the Muskoka region from its founding by Thomas Burgess as well as those pertaining to Lucy Maud Montgomery, the only museum of its kind outside of Prince Edward Island to do so. It sees visitors from around the world regularly, especially for the annual Anne Of Green Gables day with reenactments of Montgomery's visit to the region in 1922.
The Huttons have written a book on the history of the building, Bala's connection to Montgomery's novel "The Blue Castle" and their own history as well.
