Historic Beaverdams Church
Historical place museum

Sir Frederick Banting Homestead/ Birthplace of Banting/ Banting Homestead and Heritage Park
Tourist attraction
👍 Commemorating Sir Frederick Banting, inventor of insulin, is this great, family oriented, outdoor exercise space. They have done a fantastic job of persevering the birthplace of this important Canadian hero. Also, a fantastic spot for Pokemon Go fans, with 5 stops and a gym!

Marten River Provincial Park Logging Museum
Historical place museum
👍👍 It's a pity that this museum is not very popular as most people go to the park. It is located at the entrance to the park, so you can not notice it. But it's such a beautiful piece of history! I recommend not to miss a visit to this museum.
