Barwick
Barwick is a village of around 900 people just west of Emo. As far as I can tell, it’s pretty small. But I've never been, so please feel free to correct me.
Barwick has Riverfront Park which provides nice views of the Rainy River. There is a boat launch and some picnic pavilions. Apparently, the area provides some nice birdwatching. There is also St. Paul’s Heritage Church in town. I assume it’s old.
Barwick is also home to a lighthouse, not an old
one but one built in 2003. There is some talk that there were lighthouses
on Lake of the Woods in the past, but no confirmation of one being in Barwick.
That's what's cool about so many towns on Highway 11 - when someone gets inspired,
the community tends to get something done.
The Chapple Museum is home to Barwick’s history. It is located at a former trading post, and now displays material from local farms, the old Hudon’s Bay Company post, local artists, and is home to a war memorial.
There is a gas station, a RV/campground, a garage,
a Christian school, four churches and an oriented-strandboard plant. You
can take tours of the Voyageur Panel OSB plant by calling 807-274-2000 in
the summer.
And like all the surrounding villages, Barwick tries to lay claim to the Native historical centre as a local attraction, but it is in Stratton, one town west.
I’ve never been to Barwick. If you have, email me so I can add to this page, or post below. My email address is info (at) highway11 (dot) ca
