Moments in Algoma – A Group of Seven Experience

At the Ermatinger•Clergue National Historic Site we offer a full evening based on the Group of Seven and their ties to this area.
The evening begins in our Heritage Discovery Centre with the 25 minute theatrical production “Moments in Algoma”, a one man show inspired by the letters and reflections of the founding members of the Group of Seven during their first visits to Algoma in 1918.
