Reconnecting With the Forgotten
We welcome you to our extraordinary exhibition, "Reconnecting with the Forgotten." We invite you to explore the captivating pictures of unidentified individuals from various walks of life in the West Parry Sound District's past. This thought-provoking collection aims to bridge the gap between the unknown and the known, fostering a connection that transcends time.

Curator Insight
Since the start of the West Parry Sound District Museum, our staff has collected items with the purpose of preserving and sharing the history of the District. A part of that includes preserving the human stories and lives behind an item, which is especially important with photographs. The exhibit's curator, Michaela Dickens, has meticulously gathered these images from diverse sources within our Museum's collection to present them in an evocative montage. It is their hope that the community of the West Parry Sound District and all those who have a connection to its past will aid us in our endeavour to return identities to faces that have been lost to time. We ask that you immerse yourself in studying these faces for hints of connection and in the responsibility of being a storyteller for the forgotten in this exhibit and in your daily life.
