Have you ever wondered about that old empty house or abandoned ruin? Who lived there and why did they leave? If the walls could talk, what would they say? If only you could look inside!

Once Imagined takes you inside some fascinating houses, hotels and ruins from around the Muskoka region, many off limits to most of the world - private locations such as Sparrow Beach Lodge and Cooper’s Falls General Store. Gravenhurst is best known for its steamships, but in the late 1800s it was the flashpoint for a very brief gold rush and the man who discovered the first nugget built a beautiful house that he would never live in.

Historical research and interviews with owners and past residents, many in their ’80s and ’90s, inspired the series of paintings accompanying this narrative tour through the history of each building.

The last several years have seen an explosion of urban and rural exploration. Michelle Hendry invites the reader on a unique journey with words and art, offering a glimpse into these forgotten places.
