Bala's Museum

Bala's Museum, officially with the sub-name "With Memories Of Lucy Maud Montgomery", is a museum located in Bala, Ontario, Canada. It is owned and operated by Jack Hutton and Linda Jackson-Hutton.

The museum was formerly a boarding house operated by Fanny Pike at the beginnings of the 1900s and now houses artifacts from the Muskoka region from its founding by Thomas Burgess as well as those pertaining to Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of the "Anne of Green Gables" series and "The Blue Castle". It is the only museum of its kind outside of Prince Edward Island to do so. It sees visitors from around the world regularly, especially for the annual "Anne of Green Gables" Day, with re-enactments of Montgomery's two week visit to the region in 1922.

The Huttons co-wrote a book, "Lucy Maud Montgomery And Bala: A Love Story Of The North Woods" ISBN 0-9683934-0-3 printed by Watts Printing. They also own another local establishment, The Inn at Roselawn.
