Reflections on the History of the Area

A Train Journey Through the Ottawa Valley
A wonderful photo history of rail travel.

 

Sunstrum's Hotel circa 1900. The same building, with the balconies now removed, stands in the village today, the now-closed Golden Lake Tavern.

The photo from a 1911 post card. It was taken from near the Reserve Bridge.

A photo, probably from the 1940s of Beatty Island looking south through Tranquility Bay to the hills at Foymount in the distance.

An old view of one of the resort beaches on the north shore of Golden Lake showing a gas pump right in the water. Not something you would see today.

An old post card of Camp Agawaten

Another view of Camp Agawaten
