THE KIOSK STORY looks at the history of the Northwest corner of Algonquin Park
and surrounding area. From the early Native activity of Chief Amable du Fond and
his descendents to the current activity as an Access Point, it has been a
dramatic tale of growth and loss, Native presence, lumber entrepreneurs, the
railway, tourism and changes in Park philosophy. The town of Kiosk and the 37
year operation of the Staniforth Lumber Company are featured. A brief look at
some of the other interesting heritage locations in the area has been added to
