For over a quarter of a century Scott’s of
Muskoka has been the headquarters for regional books,
hydrographic and topographic maps, custom framing, art
supplies and fine art. Located just up from the falls in
historic downtown Bracebridge, this unique destination
store offers three beautiful floors brimming with gifts,
D.A. Dunford posters, prints, original Muskoka art and
crafts and great ideas for cottage country reading. The
stores assortment of books includes bestsellers, new
releases for Christmas giving and the largest selection
of ‘Muskoka’ books found anywhere.
Among their over 30
gallery artists are some of the finest painters,
potters, sculptors and craft persons found anywhere in
Canada. Show and sale events throughout the year
highlight a wide variety of talented artisans including
Kate Grigg, Nora Telford, Marion Stevenson, Mel Delija,
John Harrington, Jim Simpson and many more. Scott’s of
Muskoka also features the spectacular oils of Michael
Roth, celebrated artist and art teacher, offering the
area’s largest selection of his work.
For many years Scott’s was the home gallery of Robert
Everett. Considered the dean of Muskoka artists, Mr.
Everett’s work can be found in private and corporate
collections around the world. The historic upstairs
showroom has been completely restored and dedicated to
his memory. With elegant décor and much improved
lighting it makes an excellent venue for special
showings. The original wood ceilings have been restored,
the graceful arched windows uncovered, and a beautiful
Victorian fireplace has been added for early and late
season events.
Scott’s of Muskoka,
Muskoka’s unique bookstore and art gallery, is a
treasure house for Christmas browsing. A fall tribute
from the gallery artists is now in full swing, and new
collections from Muskoka favourites such as Pam Wong,
Lynda Lynn, Eddie LePage, Kent Taylor, and Dan Werstuk
are on display. For fine art, a very special gift, that
favourite poster, or a new coffee table book to
celebrate the season, Scott’s of Muskoka is always
worth a visit.
