Windows to the Past
“Upon first viewing the exhibit, Jim immediately recognized the name of his elementary school teacher and told those of us in the vicinity that she was his teacher.

Harrison Memorial Cultural Centre
Harrison Memorial Church has been a fixture in the East Shore community of Crawford Bay for over 100 years.
