Dubreuilville has always been a great tourism asset;
however, it is yet to be promoted to it's full potential. Visitors are
welcome to visit the local museum, of which the community is very
proud. This museum is located within the renovated Franz Station, a
historical Canadian Pacific Railway station relocated from one of the
last railway junctions in Canada, originally located about 20
kilometres north of Dubreuilville.

A short distance towards Manitoulin from the Willisville turnoff is the
road west into Whitefish Falls. The hamlet is close to the road and
affords an easy break from summer traffic. From the town there are many
fine views of the falls from which the name derives.

of the year and experience pow wows, live theatre, fall fairs, museums,
or boutiques - you will likely even see some wildlife during your

The first European settlement in the Township of Tehkummah (its name
means "rays of light flashing in the sky") was located at Michael's Bay

Michael's Bay in 1867, and the first township council was convened
there in 1881. Destroyed by fire in 1914, the village was never rebuilt.

some 50 homes. The Indian name for Spring Bay means "cold water" and
is, like the English name, a reference to a possible earlier site of
this community. Area residents still refer to Lower Spring Bay, which
is closer to Lake Mindemoya and was an important transportation route
for the settlers who arrived in this area in the 1870s and 80s.
