Pither's Point on Display

There's a new exhibit focusing at the Fort Frances Museum focusing around Pither's Point Park.

Museum Curators Pam Hawley says the exhibit shows the importance of the park to the Fort Frances area and how its changed over the past one hundred years.

"It's really changed," says Hawley. "We had a dance pavilion there. We had a golf course there. There was a variety of activities that would occurred at the point with bands coming into play and dances and concerts. Lots of swimming used to happen there."

Hawley is hoping the exhibit will spur residents' memories about the park.

The exhibit will remain up until the end of August.
