Stephen Leacock Boathouse

Stephen Leacock Boathouse

Stephen Leacock – Canadian novelist and humourist. Renowned for his humour Stephen Leacock had a summer home in Orillia which is now the Leacock Museum

A few years back (um, probably closer to 10) a local committee got together and raised funds to reconstruct the original boathouse on the property (the home was built in 1928ish).

The Leacock Home (museum), as well as hosting museum tours, is a local favourite for weddings because the grounds are beautifully landscaped and planted. The Leacock foundation also awards a medal for humour yearly to many hopeful entrants – some of the past winners have been native Orillians, but not all of them – most of them are Canadians.

This image of the boathouse was taken during the summer of 2007 from our boat.
