Join us on a guided tour as we step back in time to 17th century Canada on Georgian Bay. Experience Ontario’s oldest European community and one of Canada’s National Historical Sites. Explore, hear the legends in the Longhouse and join in. Touch history, and experience life at this historic French Jesuit mission in the heart of the Huron-Wendat Nation.
