“Why is there a barbershop in your museum?” ...Because our museum started in a barbershop! In 1979 the town barber, Alex Dufresne, convinced the town council to purchase the red bricked house on 107 Lansdowne St. that had once belonged to Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, the physician to the Dionne Quintuplets, and turn it into a community museum. Alex donated his photograph collection, various antiques, and his actual barbershop (chairs, sinks, mirrors and all!) to start the museum’s collection. Today, this collection has expanded to include artefacts related to the Dionne Quintuplets, the shipping industry on Lake Nipissing, the sawmills around Callander Bay, and the general history of Callander. In 1994, an addition was added and named the Alex Dufresne Gallery in honour of our founder. The space hosts 5 different art exhibitions each year featuring local and area artists. We are open year-round and we hope you will visit!

Excellent display of historical artifacts. Comprehensive information on the history of Callander and area. Outstanding exhibit on the Dionne quintuplets. The Alex Dufresne gallery provides displays of the work of local area artists. The staff are friendly and knowledgable. Classes held throughout the year that are either free of charge or at a very low cost. Fun fact: A famous Canadian actor is shown in a class photo at a Callander public school. Go visit the museum to find out who it is!

Two of us on our day off from work stopped by on a Friday after taking the old convertible out for a autumn drive. Jane gave us a tour of her favourite rock and fossil specimens after we had looked around for about an hour on our own. What a collection! You can really sense the passion behind this place, from the thoughtful groupings or minerals by type or colour or interest, to the ‘augmented reality’ add-ones, and the whimsical gift shop/art space. Am going to recommend this to a few people who want to take a drive out by south river. Will have to stop in again once the newer projects begin to be realized fully - was given a taste of some fluorescent mineral exhibits that they were working on, and boy did I ever feel transported back to my 5th grade self on a school trip,to,science north! I was really impressed. And they only ask a 5 dollar donation to enter - what a deal, we left our gift shop change in addition to the entry fee because it was really just that cool.

4.5 based on 37 reviews
South River Brewery (formerly Highlander) is located in South River, in the Almaguin Highlands just north of Muskoka - making South River Brewing Co one of the most northerly craft breweries in Ontario. A five-minute drive from the Highway 11 exit will bring you straight to our new brewery on the main street in South River.

I picked up a few cans of Highlander Beer while traveling to North Bay a month ago and noticed, when i got home, the option to Order Online. I tried the service and had beer delivered to my door within days of my order. A great variety and good beer while offering a service that is useful during these days of social isolation. Cheers !
