60 YEARS AGO (and one) ::: HOLLYWOOD CAME TO PICKERING … to film "HAWKEYE AND THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS"

.

GANATSEKIAGON CREEK. Diff angle than last photo—

 

At Concession 3, northside.

 

Deckers Hill, PICKERING.

 

Only THEN, back in 1957 and 1958, the area pictured above was A LAKE.

 

No, foolin’.

 

The “Hawkeye and The Last of The Mohicans” TV set’s lake.

 

NORMAMDIE PRODUCTIONS dammed the creek up so all the canoe scenes could be filmed right here.

 

AND Canada's HOLLYWOOD NORTH (now a multiBILLION dollar TV and FILM industry) began humbly, right here.

 

You’re looking at it—

 

LIGHTS, camera, action!

 

REMEMBER, THIS PARTICULAR TRIP BACK IN TIME was helped along because of the great research efforts of others, and the 'Hawkeye' fanship of others.

 

I learned that "Hawkeye", one of my fav boyhood TV shows, was actually filmed in CANADA through one of the links below.

 

So I had to check things out (go there), MYSELF, because of that.
