Bracebridge - Royal Canadian Legion Br. 161

 

Location:  N 45 02.185   W 079 18.159  Located at 168 Muskoka Road S.

My first glance at the display outside the Central Muskoka Branch 161, was that I had stumbled across some sort of military museum.  With a large artillery piece, an old truck, a bell and an anchor on display, the Royal Canadian Legion in Bracebridge is well represented with memorials.
