Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre Events

May 30, 2007

Last night your friendly correspondent attended Allen Smutylo’s lecture based on his new book, Wild Places Wild Hearts. The lecture took place at a facility that was new to me, but one I was greatly impressed by.

The Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre in Southampton is an amazing example of creative architecture. Located on the shore of beautiful Fairy Lake the building is an amalgam of old brick and new glass. The space is expansive and open, the theatre comfortable and well-equipped. There is a fabulous view from the back deck overlooking Fairy Lake. Both of these spaces are available for rent if you are thinking of running an event. Details can be found by clicking on the link above.
