Our Kawartha story began over 42 years ago.
Our family has been summer vacationing at our grandparents cottage just north of Bobcaygeon at a place called Nichols cove for more than 42 years. About 10 years ago, our parents built there permanent retirement home. We have always loved visiting this area, so we decided to move to Omemee after living in Holland.
We have grown to love living in this area because of the beautiful country side, the fresh water lakes and the quaint little villages that are spread throughout the whole region.
Over time we have come to learn that each town has their unique history, special character and fascinating people.
We put this site together as an informal way of bringing people together of the Kawarthas. We try to continuously gather information, events, history and personal stories of the people of the Kawarthas.
Thank you for visiting.
