Canada: Sault Ste Marie, Ontario – Photo of Three of the Group of Seven
Here are three of the famous Canadian Group of Seven painters who started painting the Algoma scenery starting in 1918 with J.E.H. Macdonald. The others in the group are: Lawren Harris, Franklin Carmichael, A.Y. Jackson, Franz Johnson, Arhur Lismer, and Frederick Varley. They hitched a boxcar onto the Agawa Canyon train going up to the mines in Northern Ontario.
Canada: Sault Ste Marie, Ontario – Inside Group of Seven Boxcar
The Group of Seven were Canadian painters who, in the early 20th century, especially enjoyed painting Canadian scenery. A few at a time, the men would live in this spartan boxcar which would get hitched to a train. They would be let off on a rail siding for a few days to paint scenery to their hearts content.
Canada: Sault Ste Marie, Ontario – Group of Seven Boxcar
If you would like to see a reproduction of the Boxcar that the Canadian Group of Seven slept, ate and painted in on the side railings of the 114-mile Agawa Canyon Train, head to Sault Ste. Marie. You can even take a ride on that train to glimpse the scenery they drew. At the end you can get off and enjoy the waterfalls and views and then return the same day.
Canada: Sault Ste Marie, Ontario – Scottish Pub in Sault Ste. Marie
Total fun to meet a guy in a skirt in a pub. The owner of The Whisky Barrel struts it in his kilt as he got to follow his dream to open a Scottish pub. So sure there’s Haggis and Shepherd’s Pie but also fun whisky ice cream.
