JUST RELEASED !!!

My purpose in writing the book is to resurrect a small part of history on the Gravenhurst Police Department and to remember and recognize those officers who swore an oath to serve and protect the citizens of the Village, and later the Town of Gravenhurst.  Little history has been recorded on the dissolved Gravenhurst Police Department.  Official town history books are mute on this subject and historical records have unfortunately been destroyed or lost over time.  

I am happy to report that my book has now been released.  Copies of this 117 page  8.5" X 11" landscaped book are available in Gravenhurst at:

Muskoka Steamships and Discovery Centre
