John Johnston Home

100_0866.jpgMusicians Dave Stanaway and Susan Askwith perform original music 
celebrating life in this area’s fur trade era
and the Johnston family’s role in the meeting and blending of the 
Native and European cultures. Dave and Sue
delight audiences with an hour of song and story in the home each 
Tuesday and Thursday from 1 - 2 p.m.
Craft demonstrations take place Saturdays from 1-2 p.m. 
All workers at the Johnston Home are dressed in representational garments, and are happy to engage with visitors
about this vigorous and pivotal time in Great Lakes history.  In addition to the interesting exhibits and demonstrations in the Johnston Home, the gardens outside are planted with species prevalent and familiar during the Johnston era. The plants 
are labeled, and a beautiful commissioned statue of
Niingay (as Susan Johnston was called by her many children), graces 
the garden. The grounds are maintained
by the Sault Area Garden Club.
