Crawford Lake Conservation Area is a truly exceptional park with a truly exceptional lake. Scientists researching this sediment in the early 1970s discovered corn pollen dating from the 13th to 15th century. This led to the discovery of the archaeological footprints of a Wendat or Attawandaron village. Three longhouses from this village have been reconstructed on their original footprint to help educate the public about the area’s Indigenous history through programs, exhibits, gardens, and workshops developed with Indigenous partners of the park.

Kirkland Lake owes its very existence to the hard work of the countless miners who have worked in this community since the discovery of gold here in 1911. To honor these miners, both past and present, who have dedicated their lives to the mining industry, a Miners' Memorial was erected on the former property of Sir Harry Oakes in 1994.

The Ojibway and Cree Cultural Centre is a non-profit organization established in 1975 under the direction of Grand Council Treaty #9, now known as the Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN). The centre is funded by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) through its Cultural Education Centres Program. The Ojibway and Cree Cultural Centre is managed by a board of directors who represent each tribal council area of NAN.

The Porcupine Miners Memorial was erected in 2008 to honor the memory of 594 miners who lost their lives throughout the region's history. The statue portrays a mother and two children as a symbol of the families who carry forward the legacy of their departed loved ones.

At a height of 20 feet, Guy-Paul Treefall stands tall with an axe by his side. He is also known as "The Storyteller" or "Le Raconteur" in French. This massive lumberjack sculpture attracts tourists to the small paper mill town. Along with a new Artisan and Craft Display and Information Center, designed in the style of a log cabin, the lumberjack serves as a reminder of Iroquois Falls' forestry history, which is the reason behind the town's creation. The sculpture was crafted by artist Denys Heppell from Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, Quebec.

Located in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, the Obadjiwan-Fort-Témiscamingue National Historic Site witnessed the presence of the Indigenous people about 6,000 years ago and was the scene of commercial rivalries. This former fur trading post is at the heart of regional history and is well worth a visit.

This has to be seen to be believed—a massive, three-story red pine log house with a turret on top, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Built by hand by an eccentric hermit from 1903 to 1904, it stands as a testament to the resilience and imagination of this “frontier” man.
