From War to Wonders

Ever wonder where fantastic novel ideas come from? Often, ideas inside fantasy novels are not so far-fetched after all. While some read to immerse themselves into new worlds, others write about them — though sometimes it is difficult to avoid real life from impacting the stories. Escape into the Leacock Museum’s upcoming exhibit, From War to Wonders: Mapping Escapism in a Time of Turmoil, to learn how some of the most popular fantasy novels were impacted by the First and Second World Wars.

Self-guided tours are available for just $5. Guided House and Grounds History Tours which include access to the Leacock Boathouse are $10.
