One of the best citizen initiatives this city has seen is on pause – and that is not good news.
There is a lot to do on Canada Day – unfortunately touring Freeman Station is not going to be on the list of opportunities.

Has anyone taken a look at Joseph Brant’s replica home that is the centrepiece of the museum? It is deteriorating atop its magnificent perch. Maybe a replica of the replica will be the answer. If that museum cannot be managed, why would the city snub the volunteer Friends of Freeman Station, the group without whom there would just be a collection of memories and souvenirs instead of the real deal?
