Museum
of Northern History
Located at
the Sir Harry Oakes Chateau, the museum provides a fascinating glimpse
into Kirkland Lake’s past. An ongoing series of exhibits and special
shows also highlights the diversity, talent and energy of the community
today.
The famous
sportscaster Foster Hewitt once said that Kirkland Lake was "the
town that made the N.H.L. famous". Hockey Heritage North demonstrates the truth of
Hewitt’s words. This 18,000 square foot interactive facility tells
the story of hockey in northeastern Ontario and how this region
produced some of the best players in the world.
Scenic
Spots, Parks and Natural Wonders
Kirkland Lake
is surrounded by natural beauty. Twenty minutes to the east lies
Mount Cheminis, towering 500 m above sea level and offering a panoramic
view of the north Temiskaming region. Stay overnight at nearby Esker
Lakes Provincial Park. Or take a stroll around town and visit the
scenic Swastika Firemen's Park, Kinross Pond, Culver Park and Miner's
Memorial.
