Heritage Kincardine

We recently received this message. Can you help? Hello Everyone! I am looking for some help with a project that I am working on. I am a Masters of Architecture student at Laurentian University currently working on my thesis. My family has been cottagers at Bruce Beach (located just south of Kincardine) for over a century, as well as being residents of Kincardine and Ripley for many years. My project is centered around Bruce Beach, specifically exploring how memories can be ...held/passed on with built objects. I am studying everything from cottages, to bunkies, to those funky windchimes someone in your family made from beach debris (just as an example). I am not picky about what you wish to share with me, all I am looking for is your memories of Bruce Beach. If you are interested in helping me I would love to receive any photos (new or old), stories, or even just dates of when things (cottages, sheds, decks, ect) were built and by whom. Feel free to reach out to me via Facebook, or my email: [email protected] and we can chat further. Aidan Lucas I also have this photo, dated around 1914 of my family cottage at Bruce beach.

We have had a request to locate a former trailer park somewhere south of Kincardine: "We used to come to town as children to our grandparents trailer approximately 1974-75. It was beach front, across the road, 10-15 trailers, 4-5 wooden cabins and on the same side just up the street on a corner was a small convenience store. We have driven all over and the most likely locale is Cozy Corners on Boiler Beach Rd. I think it's Cozy Corners. It is small and across from the water, about 3 doors down from the corner and the corner home is old and could have been a store. It is now Bluenose Cabin." Anyone know where this is? This is a picture we found which might be the same place . . .?

Hidden art! New owners of a house on Princes St. were doing some renos in the basement and uncovered these three original paintings - no date, "Gregg" in capital letters: elephants, original picture of the house, and a Scotsman. You never know what you will find!

Councillor Laura Haight shared this photo with us last week (before the beach was closed ) . She believes it is portions of the fence that used to be around the railway track down by the beach. We found this Scougall Pic that might be like what she thought. She said if you enter the beach at the cairn deck and head south you can’t miss them. They are a third of the way between cairn deck and the gazebo. https://brucemuseum.pastperfectonline.com//CD50C810-AADF-4
