Lanterns, Teapots and Quilts; Off the Grid Living
This exhibit explores minimalist, off the grid living. A selection of over 50 artifacts bring to life how people relied on the natural environment, and the hardship to survive in the open wilderness of Newmarket. Could you survive for more than one year without electricity and plumbing?
