10. And when you’re called back to your everyday life, don’t despair, take a piece of Muskoka with you. Spend your last day shopping the many fine antiques stores that make it possible for you to collect treasures all your own. Among the antiques offerings of Muskoka is the Gravenhurst Grand Antique Show and Sale, held in August. Find the best-informed dealers in Ontario in one location. What a perfect opportunity.
