History
This 150 acres old farm is a part of pioneer community located in thebeautiful Ontario country of forests, hills, lakes and rivers in Renfrew
County. The region of Barry's Bay, Wilno and Round Lake is known as
"Madawaska Valley", but to people of Polish origin it is "Kaszuby"-
named after the part of northern Poland from which the first settlers arrived here in the mid 19th century.
The beauty of the Ontario's Kaszuby and its vibrant traditions have attracted many post World War II Polish immigrants. Consequently, scores of summer cottages have been built, many permanent residences have been established and Polish youth camps organized - Kaszuby became the focus of Polish scouting in Canada.
