Are there any good museums or art galleries nearby?
Absolutely. If you like Canadian Art by the Group of Seven, you’ll love the Fred Varley Gallery in Unionville, and the world famous McMicheal Canadian Art Collection in Kleinberg (20 minutes away). Then there’s the Base Borden Military Museum due West of Barrie, the Simcoe County Museum just North West of Barrie, Black Creek Pioneer Village at the top of Toronto, and Georgina Pioneer Village in Keswick. Have a look at the Museums Link page for more information and inspiration.
