Nestled on the shores of Lake Couchiching, the Leacock Museum National Historic Site is housed in the summer cottage, boathouse and gardens of famous Canadian humorist and economist, Stephen Leacock (1869-1944). Leacock was known for his witty and satirical works (particularly Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town). His legacy is honoured annually through the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour.
