"Kennaway was a settlement village near the modern town of Harcourt, Harcourt Township, Haliburton County, Ontario. It began around 1860 and was abandoned around the 1930's. Primarily a farming settlement, Kennaway also supported a schoolhouse, a few mills, a livery stable, a post office and a hotel. Kennaway created its farms out of the piney soil of the Canadian Shield. Surrounded by forest and lakes, the village was relatively isolated in the area, approximately 10 km away from Wilberforce, a larger town to the southeast." The schoolhouse and a few log shacks remain. For more details and photos check this new link http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/history/material_culture/cmartine/ Submitted by: Clayton Self
