Extra Credit XXIII “The Kinghorn, Part III (Wildgoose Lake, Ontario)”

24 Jun

Extra Credit is video series that examines topics related to history in the Thunder Bay District and exploring that history.

This episode , the third in sub-series on the former Kinghorn Subdivision, takes us to the Geraldton area where follow the grade to the site of Keemle Station. We begin at Wildgoose Beach Road (Milepost 130.4/29.6) travelling west 3 miles to the station at Milepost 133.2/32.4. Along the way we pass milepost markers, a long rock causeway and the remains of the siding at Keemle. This station was once home to a water tank and section house and on this visit I uncovered the concrete base of the tank and located what I believe was the site of the section house. In the links below you can see more of Keemle, including the results of my archaeology work, and the full-length version video.

Enjoy!
