a presentation

 

      Nipissing Junction has a remarkable history, and was a major gateway in the development of our country. This PowerPoint presentation illustrates how Nipissing Junction meets the criteria to become a National Historic Site of Canada.

It begins with a broad review of the area's history - Aboriginal trade and travel, European exploration, the fur trade, and the construction of Canada's transcontinental railways. Historic travel routes are explored, and conservation measures are proposed to commemorate and preserve this national heritage.
