"Home of the Mississippi"
 



Carleton Place on Bridge Street.


The townhall is always a wonderful sight as one approaches the main street bridge from either side of the Mississippi River upon which it is built.
The picture to the right shows, typically, the townhall at sundown. Past the townhall, many interesting shops exhibit the creative spark and Heritage consciousness of local business owners.

Living in the area is much like being a perennial tourist. Since I once made tourist photo-cards, I made my folio reflect the wonders of Lanarks' changing face. The arts and crafts also reflect the inspiration one experiences, from the areas' rich look.

This studio sells all kinds of weaving and knitting yarns. Click to the large image, and you will see the grounds of this admirable gallery, where the lawn sported canvas teepees, one summer.

Our towns' business association, in conjunction with the Carleton Place Horticultural Society, has made the area lovely with planters and hanging baskets in the summer.
