Article Database - Dr. George/Kemp House

"Communities in Bloom" is a National competition, begun to encourage communities to take pride in their surroundings. Last year Innisfail won tops in the Provincial competition for their population category, and competed this year Nationally. Final results will not be known until the fall.

The Dr. George House Preservation Society entered the Dr. George/Kemp House and grounds in the Town competition both years, and was successful this year in winning the Institutional/Organization category.

Members of the Board and some volunteers have done a lot of work to beautify the grounds which have an Old Fashioned Garden, a Memorial Rose Garden, an Herb garden and many other areas furbished with flowers. These areas are a beautiful addition to a lovely period home which houses the Dr. George Museum and Katy Jane's Tea Room. It also has areas conducive to meetings, wedding banquets and other activities. The House is open Monday - Friday, 10am to 4:30pm from Mother's Day to Labour Day weekend, and by appointment. Call or (caterer).
