KIOSK
Story of a Ghost Town
By Chelsea V, Grade 5

CARNIVAL TIME This picture is of my Mom and my Uncle standing in front of Kiosk's first carnival. This picture was taken in February, 1969 and my Mom was only 5 or 6 years old. My Uncle was only 4 or 5 years old. I also have an Aunt (Kim) and she was only a month or two when this picture was taken. Kiosk's first carnival was its last one too. |
My Uncle (Darryl) used to live there as well. My Granny and Grandpa are their parents, (Shirly) and (Charlie). My Grandpa lived in Kiosk from 1959-1978. My Granny lived there from 1963-1978. Kiosk had a mill that burnt down on July 15th or 16th, 1973. The mill was right near my Mom's house. It must have been scary when it burnt down. My Dad, (Don), never lived in Kiosk, he only lived in Toronto and Mattawa, ONT. There were good fishing spots in Kiosk (and there still are. It is on the northern edge of Algonquin Park. --TG) Kiosk is a ghost town, as people prefer to call it, because nobody lives there anymore. That's all I have to say about KIOSK.
